imputeLCMD (version 2.0)

impute.wrapper.MLE: MLE-based imputation of missing data.

Description

Is is a wrapper function that performs the imputation of missing data using EM algorithm. The wrapper is built around the imp.norm function from the norm package.

Usage

impute.wrapper.MLE(dataSet.mvs)

Arguments

dataSet.mvs

A data matrix containing left-censored missing data.

Value

A complete expression data matrix with missing values imputed.

References

See package norm.
