Hi I am trying to impute missing values for my data.frame. As I intend to use the complete data for prediction I am currently measuring the success of an imputation method by its resulting classification error in my training data. I have tried several approaches to replace missing values: - mean/median substitution - substitution by a value selected from the observed values of a variable - MLE

Dear R help users: I have set up a r help mailing list archive based on mysql which support full text search and auto-update. Please visit http://www.baidao.net/r/maillist/index.cgi . I hope you could provide me bug reports and suggestions. I will add r_dev and r_announce mailing list as soon as possible. Thanks in advance! eLan

Hello, I have climatic data of various years with many missing values. I would like to know what tools in R are most suited to estimate this missing values. (New in R and quite new on statistics). Thanks, G

I want to plot some 3D points on top of the grid produced by persp().

But persp() does return something (in R-1.5.1): a 4x4 matrix which in the C code is called the

R-helpers: I have a dataset that has 168 subjects and 12 variables. Some of the variables have missing data and I want to use the multiple imputation capabilities of the "mice" package to address the missing data. Given that mice only supports linear models and generalized linear models (via the lm.mids and glm.mids functions) and that I need to fit Cox models, I followed the previous

Hi Folks, I'm currently looking at missing data/imputation methods (including multiple imputation). S-Plus has a "missing data library". What similar resources are available within R? Or does one roll one's own? Best wishes to all, Ted. -------------------------------------------------------------------- E-Mail: (Ted Harding) <Ted.Harding at nessie.mcc.ac.uk>

Hi! Does anyone know how to do the test for goodness of fit of a logistic model (in rms package) after running fit.mult.impute? I am using the rms and Hmisc packages to do a multiple imputation followed by a logistic regression model using lrm. Everything works fine until I try to run the test for goodness of fit: residuals(type=c("gof")) One needs to specify y=T and x=T in the fit. But

I'm looking for a package that has a start-of-the-art method of imputation of missing values in a data frame with both continuous and factor columns. I've found transcan() in 'Hmisc', which appears to be possibly suited to my needs, but I haven't been able to figure out how to get a new data frame with the imputed values replaced (I don't have Herrell's book). Any

So I have a very big matrix of about 900 by 400 and there are a couple of NA in the list. I have used the following functions to impute the missing data data(pc) pc.na<-pc pc.roughfix <- na.roughfix(pc.na) pc.narf <- randomForest(pc.na, na.action=na.roughfix) yet it does not replace the NA in the list. Presently I want to replace the NA with maybe the mean of the rows or columns or

I tried multiple imputation with aregImpute() and fit.mult.impute() in Hmisc 3.8-3 (June 2010) and R-2.12.1. The warning message below suggests that summary(f) of fit.mult.impute() would only use the last imputed data set. Thus, the whole imputation process is ignored. "Not using a Design fitting function; summary(fit) will use standard errors, t, P from last imputation only. Use

I am a new user of R for Windows, enthusiast about the many functions of the Design and Hmisc libraries. I combined the results of a Cox regression model after multiple imputation (of missing values in some covariates). Now I got my vector of coefficients (and of standard errors). My question is: How could I use directly that vector to run programs such as 'nomogram', 'calibrate',

Hi, Suppose I use the following codes to read in a data set. ############################################### > rating <- scan("../Data/Rating.csv", + what = list( + usage = "", + mileage = 0, + sex = "", + excess = "", + ncd = "", +

Hello, I have a general question about combining imputations as well as a question specific to the rms and Hmisc packages. The situation is multiple regression on a data set where multiple imputation has been used to give M imputed data sets. I know how to get the combined estimate of the covariance matrix of the estimated coefficients (average the M covariance matrices from the individual

Hi, I want to impute the missing values in my data set multiple times, and then combine the results (like multiple imputation, but manually) to get a mean of the parameter(s) from the multiple imputations. Does anyone know how to do this? I have the following script: y1 <- rnorm(20,0,3) y2 <- rnorm(20,3,3) y3 <- rnorm(20,3,3) y4 <- rnorm(20,6,3) y <- c(y1,y2,y3,y4) x1 <-

I am doing multiple imputation with Hmisc, and can't figure out how to replace the NA values with the imputed values. Here's a general ourline of the process: > set.seed(23) > library("mice") > library("Hmisc") > library("Design") > d <- read.table("DailyDataRaw_01.txt",header=T) > length(d);length(d[,1]) [1] 43 [1] 2666

Is there a good way in R to impute values which exist, but are less than the detection level for an assay? Thanks, Jonathan Williams OPTIMA Radcliffe Infirmary Woodstock Road OXFORD OX2 6HE Tel +1865 (2)24356

I have always avoided missing data by keeping my distance from the real world. But I have a student who is doing a study of real patients. We're trying to test regression models using multiple imputation. We did the following (roughly): f <- aregImpute(~ [list of 32 variables, separated by + signs], n.impute=20, defaultLinear=T, data=t1) # I read that 20 is better than the default of

  I have timeseries data for some factors, and some missing values are there in those factors, I want impute those missing values without disturbing the distribution of that factor, and maintaining the correlation with other factors. Pl. suggest me some imputation methods. I tried some functions in R like aregImpute, transcan. After the imputation I am unable to retrive the data with imputed

Dear R-help, I am trying to impute missing data for the first time using R. The norm package seems to work for me, but the missing values that it returns seem odd at times -- for example it returns negative values for a variable that should only be positive. Does this matter in data analysis, and/or is there a way to limit the imputed values to be within the minimum and maximum of the actual
