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.

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, 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

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

First, many thanks to Frank Harrell for once again helping me out. This actually relates to the next point, which is my contribution to the 'why don't social scientists use R' discussion. I am a hybrid social scientist(child psychiatrist) who trained on SPSS. Many of my difficulties in coming to terms with R have been to do with trying to apply the logic underlying SPSS, with dire

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,

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

  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

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 +

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

Hi, I want to impute a data set multiple times with Amelia, but the data set is large so it takes a long time. As a result, I'm trying to run the multiple imputation with parallel processors in Windows, but am having trouble. Here is a quick example: ###### library(foreach) library(doSNOW) registerDoSNOW(makeCluster(4, type = "SOCK")) getDoParWorkers() getDoParName()

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

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 all, I am trying to impute some missing data using the mice package. The data set I am working with contains 125 variables (190 observations), involving both categorical and continuous data. Some of these variables are missing up to 30% of their data. I am running into a peculiar problem which is illustrated by the following example showing both the original data (blue) and the imputed

Dear all, I am using transcan to impute missing values (single imputation). I have several dichotomous variables in my dataset, but when I try to impute the missings sometimes values are imputed that were originally not in the dataset. So, a variable with 2 values (severe weight loss or no/limited weight loss) for example coded 0 and 1, shows 3 different values after imputation (0, 1 and 2). I

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 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: I have been trying to impute missing values of a data frame which has both numerical and categorical values using the function transcan() with little luck. Would you be able to give me a simple example where a data frame is fed to transcan and it spits out a new data frame with the NA values filled up? Or is there any other function that i could use? Thank you avneet ===== I believe in

I would like to impute missing data in a set of correlated variables (columns of a matrix). It looks like transcan() from Hmisc is roughly what I want. It says, "transcan automatically transforms continuous and categorical variables to have maximum correlation with the best linear combination of the other variables." And, "By default, transcan imputes NAs with "best
