Missing continuous-outcome delta sensitivity
Vary the assumed mean among missing outcomes relative to observed outcomes.

Counts must be whole numbers, observed n positive and missing n nonnegative. Delta is in the outcome units and can be positive or negative.
The starting values are hypothetical. Results update as you edit. Use aggregate or synthetic inputs only.

How to interpret the output
The all-participant mean equals observed mean + missing fraction×delta. This is a transparent pattern-mixture sensitivity scenario, not an estimate of the missing outcomes from data. The chosen delta needs substantive justification. No sampling uncertainty, group contrast or imputation variance is included.
