[R] pairwise deletion in regression models

Hi

Hm. Are you 100% sure that other software packages can do pairwise deletion in
OLS or GLM? I am not at all familiar with them but

http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/spss/modules/stats.htm

suggests that option pairwise is available with corr and I believe the same
option exists in cor function in R.

My statistical knowledge is inferior but I just cannot imagine how whole model
could be computed when one value is missing.

Cheers
Petr

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

The package is probably not available on CRAN but seems to be still maintained
on github.
