EditImputeCont (version 1.1.6)

Rcpp_bei-class: Class "Rcpp_bei"

Description

This class implements the MCMC sampler for a joint modeling approach to multiple edit-imputation for continuous data. It provides methods for updating and monitoring the sampler.

Extends

Class "'>C++Object", directly.

Fields

• Y.input: input dataset generated from readData (replacing NA in Y.original by -999 and zero values by 0.01).

• Y.edited: current edit-imputed dataset.

• K: number of mixture components (latent classes).

• n.occ: effective number of mixture components.

• Prob.A: ratio of the size of the observed sample to the size of the augmented sample.

• RandomSeed: random seed.

• msg.level: integer in {0,1,2} specifying the level of displayed message; 0: errors only, 1: errors and warnings, 2: all messages. Defaults to 0.

• FaultyRecordID: record IDs of Y.orig whose values violate edit rules.

Methods

• Iterate(): run a single iteration of MCMC.

• Run(iter): run iter iterations of MCMC.

Details

Rcpp_bei objects should be created with createModel. Please see the example in the demo folder for more detailed explanation.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
data(SimpleEx)

## read the data
data1 = readData(SimpleEx$D.obs, SimpleEx$Ratio.edit, NULL, 
  SimpleEx$Balance.edit)

## create and initialize the model
# model1 = createModel(data1, K=15)

### run 10 iterations
# model1$Run(10)
# EI_data1 = model1$Y.edited    # store the edit-imputed dataset
# }
