EditImputeCont (version 1.1.6)

EditImputeCont-package: Simultaneous Edit-Imputation for Continuous Microdata Package

Description

The package implements an integrated editing and imputation for continuous microdata under linear constraints. It relies on a Bayesian nonparametric hierarchical modeling approach in which the joint distribution of the data is estimated by a flexible joint probability model. The generated edit-imputed data are guaranteed to satisfy all imposed edit rules, whose types include ratio edits, balance edits and range restrictions.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
library(EditImputeCont)

## read the toy example data, which has two ratio edits and a balance edit
data(SimpleEx)
data1 = readData(Y.original=SimpleEx$D.obs, ratio=SimpleEx$Ratio.edit, 
	range=NULL, balance=SimpleEx$Balance.edit)

## create and initialize the model with 15 DP mixture components
# model1 = createModel(data.obj=data1, K=15)

## Run an iteration of MCMC

# model1$Iterate()

# dim(model1$Y.edited)
## [1]   1000   4  # Edit-imputed datasets of n=1000 records with p=4 variables
