similar to: multiple imputation with fit.mult.impute in Hmisc

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

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

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

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.

I have a largish dataset (1025) with around .15 of the data missing at random overall, but more like .25 in the dependent variable. I am interested in modelling the data using quantile regression, but do not know how to do this with multiply imputed data (which is what the dataset seems to need). The original plan was to use qr (or whatever) from the quantreg package as the 'fitter'

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

I have fitted a proportional odds model, but would like to compare it to a continuation ratio model. However, I am unable to fit the CR model _including_ imputated data. I guess my troubles start with settuping the data for the CR model. Any hint is 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

Hi all (and especially Frank), I'm trying to use x=T, y=T in order to run a validated stepwise cox regression in rsm, having multiply imputed using mice.

Dear all, I know there have been various questions posted over the years about loops but I'm afraid that I'm still stuck. I am using Windows XP and R 2.9.2. I am generating some data using the multivariate normal distribution (within the 'mnormt' package). [The numerical values of sanad and covmat are not important.] > datamat <-

Dear all, I used fit.mult.impute in Dr. Harrell's Design package to fit a cox ph regression model on five imputed datasets, where all missing predictors were filled by multiple imputation using R package Mice. Are there any functions able to do bootstrapping or cross-validation for the aggregated model? I tried function 'validate' and 'calibrate' in Design package, but

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

Hi there, Could anyone please help me to understand what should be done in order not to get this error message: Error: evaluation nested too deeply: infinite recursion / options(expressions=)?

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),

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',

Hello R experts I am using Hmisc aregImpute and Impute (following example on page 105 of The Hmisc and Design Libraries). *My end goal is to have NAs physically replaced in my dataframe. I have read the help pages and example in above sited pdf file, but to no avail. Here is example of what I did. Ph, my data frame, is attached. > xt <- aregImpute (~ q5 + q22rev02 + q28a, n.impute=10,

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
