[R] Pairwise deletion in a linear regression and in a GLM ?
Dear useRs, In a thesis, I found a mention of the use of pairwise deletion in linear regression and GLM (binomial family). The author said that he has used R to do the statistics, but I did not find the option allowing pairwise deletion in both lm and glm functions. Is there somewhere a package allowing that ? Thanks, Arnaud [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

[R] Pairwise deletion in a linear regression and in a GLM ?
Hi Arnaud,
A quick help search of lm or glm tells you that 'the
"factory-fresh" default is na.omit'.
If you then look up 'na.omit', you'll read that it 'returns the
object with incomplete cases removed'.
So, pairwise deletion is the default option in both lm and glm.
On a related note, it goes without saying that pairwise deletion is not good
practice in most cases, and that R has ways to impute these missing cases
depending on assumptions regarding the cause or nature of their missingness.
Regards,
Jos?
