Dear all; I am trying to use HMISC imputation function to perform multiple imputations on my data and I keep on getting errors for the code given in the help files. When using "aregImpute" the error is; >f <- aregImpute(~y + x1 + x2 + x3, n.impute=100) Loading required package: acepack Iteration:1 Error in .Fortran("wclosepw", as.double(w), as.double(x),

Hello - When trying to use Hmisc library's aregImpute function on R 1.7.0, I got the following error -- shown here using the example code from the help page --- under both Linux and Mac OS X 10.2.5: set.seed(3) x1 <- factor(sample(c('a','b','c'),1000,T)) x2 <- (x1=='b') + 3*(x1=='c') + rnorm(1000,0,2) x3 <- rnorm(1000) y <- x2 +

hi, i'm trying to learn how to use aregImpute by doing the examples provided with the package, and after installing Hmisc.1.6-1.zip (for Windows), and running the very first example on R 1.7.1, i get an error message warning me about "mace" (see below) and acepack. i found the acepack package, but its filename ends in tar.gz and i'm finding it difficult to open (because its

Hello R-help, Thanks for everyone's very helpful suggestions so far. I am now trying to use aregImpute for my missing data imputation. Here are the code and error messages. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

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

Hello, I would like to use the aregImpute and fit.mult.impute to impute missing values for my dataset and then conduct logistic regression analyses on the data, taking into account that we imputed values. I have no problems imputing the values using aregImpute, but I am getting an error at the fit.mult.impute stage. Here is some sample code (I actually have more observations and variables to

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

Hi, I have a dataframe ds1.2 - 503 categorial variables and 1 continuous response variables. I ran aregImpute to deal with NA's and got the followig error: > fmla = terms( Response ~ . ,data=ds1.2) > ds.i = aregImpute(fmla,data=ds1.2) Error in matrix(as.double(1), nrow = n, ncol = p, dimnames = list(rnam, : length of dimnames [2] not equal to array extent Could you explain

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 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've tried doing this by specifying x=TRUE, which provides me with a single imputation, that has been useful. However, the help file possibly suggests that I should get a flat-file matrix of n.impute imputations, presumably with indexing. I'm a bit stuck using alternatives to aregImpute, as neither MICE nor Amelia seem to like my dataset, and Frank Harrell no longer recommends Transcan

Dear r-help list, I'm trying to use multiple imputation for my MSc thesis. Having good exemples using the Hmisc package, I tried the aregImpute function. But with my own dataset, I have the following error : Erreur dans matxv(X, xcof) : columns in a (51) must be <= length of b (50) De plus : Warning message: In f$xcoef[, 1] * f$xcenter :   la taille d'un objet plus long n'est pas

>From Internet I downloaded the file Hmisc.zip and used it for R package updation. and R gave the message 'Hmisc' successfull unpacked. But when I use the functions like aregImpute the package is displaying coundn't find the function Where as in help.search it is giving that use of the function >

Hello, I'm working on a Cox Proportional Hazards model for a cancer data set that has missing values for the categorical variable "Grade" in less than 10% of the observations. I'm not a statistician, but based on my readings of Frank Harrell's book it seems to be a candidate for using multiple imputation technique(s). I understand the concepts behind imputation, but using

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! 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

Hi, I have a survey dataset of about 20000 observations where for 2 factor variables I have about 200 missing values each. I want to impute these using 10 possibly explanatory variables which are a mixture of integers and factors. Since I was quite intrigued by the concept of rrp I wanted to use it but it takes ages and terminates with an error. First time it stopped complaining about too little

  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 list, I'd like to use multiple imputations to try and save a somewhat badly mangled dataset (lousy data collection, worse than lousy monitoring, you know that drill... especially when I am consulted for the first time about one year *after* data collection). My dataset has 231 observations of 53 variables, of which only a very few has no missing data. Most variables have 5-10% of
