When you suspect that your data is MCAR, there are various statistical tests can help you determine if MCAR may be occurring. One important test is the Little test, which we will now run on the test missing value dataset.

Now, run the LittleMCAR test:
test_mcar<-LittleMCAR(all.df)
Print the missing values found by the test. 4% of the data was found to be missing. This makes perfect sense, since 5% of the 1,000 males and 3% of the 1,000 females were generated with NAs.
print(test_mcar$amount.missing) print(test_mcar$p.value)
Print the ...
