Data imputation using maximum likelihood method in kinesiology

A pilot research was conducted on 101 female students at the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Zagreb with the aim to evaluate a performance time for 30 proposed measure instruments of relative static strength. The maximum likelihood method was applied in estimating the parameters of lognormal distribution for censored variables. This method provided valuable data for adjustment of the measure instruments and time allotment. Application of these results will prevent unnecessary exhaustion of subjects during the measurements of relative static strength, maintaining their high sensitivity.
