[R] pairwise deletion in regression models

Thanks Petr for the suggestion.



I just took the regtools package for a quick test drive. It looks
promising, but it still needs further development to make it a viable
option. You will not get a standard regression output (as in lm or glm),
only the regression coefficients (without standard errors). I will be happy
to try it out once it is more robust.



I am a bit puzzled that the R universe seems to lack a robust package that
allows for pairwise deletion (which is standard in the otherwise poorer
software packages STATA or SPSS?). Would be very happy if anyone can show
me otherwise.

Best,

Adel
