hotdeck: Hot-Deck Imputation

Description

Implementation of the popular Sequential, Random (within a domain) hot-deck algorithm for imputation.

Usage

hotdeck(data, variable = NULL, ord_var = NULL,
    domain_var = NULL, makeNA = NULL, NAcond = NULL, impNA = TRUE,
    donorcond = NULL, imp_var = TRUE, imp_suffix = "imp")

Arguments

data

data.frame or matrix

variable

variables where missing values should be imputed

ord_var

variables for sorting the data set before imputation

domain_var

variables for building domains and impute within these domains

makeNA

vector of values, that should be converted to NA

NAcond

a condition for imputing a NA

impNA

TRUE/FALSE whether NA should be imputed

donorcond

condition for the donors e.g. ">5"

imp_var

TRUE/FALSE if a TRUE/FALSE variables for each imputed variable should be created show the imputation status

imp_suffix

suffix for the TRUE/FALSE variables showing the imputation status

Value

• the imputed data set.

Examples

data(sleep)
sleepI <- hotdeck(sleep)
sleepI2 <- hotdeck(sleep,ord_var="BodyWgt",domain_var="Pred")
