mice.impute.mpmm: Imputation by multivariate predictive mean matching

Description

Imputes multivariate incomplete data among which there are specific relations, for instance, polynomials, interactions, range restrictions and sum scores.

Usage

mice.impute.mpmm(data, format = "imputes", ...)

Value

A matrix with imputed data, which has ncol(y) columns and sum(wy) rows.

Arguments

data

matrix with exactly two missing data patterns

format

A character vector specifying the type of object that should be returned. The default is format = "imputes".

...

Other named arguments.

Details

This function implements the predictive mean matching and applies canonical regression analysis to select donors fora set of missing variables. In general, canonical regressionanalysis looks for a linear combination of covariates that predicts a linear combination of outcomes (a set of missing variables) optimally in a least-square sense (Israels, 1987). The predicted value of the linear combination of the set of missing variables would be applied to perform predictive mean matching.

Examples

# simulate data
beta2 <- beta1 <- .5
x <- rnorm(1000)
e <- rnorm(1000, 0, 1)
y <- beta1 * x + beta2 * x^2 + e
dat <- data.frame(y = y, x = x, x2 = x^2)
m <- as.logical(rbinom(1000, 1, 0.25))
dat[m, c("x", "x2")] <- NA

# impute
blk <- list("y", c("x", "x2"))
meth <- c("", "mpmm")
imp <- mice(dat, blocks = blk, method = meth, print = FALSE,
    m = 2, maxit = 2)

# analyse and check
summary(pool(with(imp, lm(y ~ x + x2))))
with(dat, plot(x, x2, col = mdc(1)))
with(complete(imp), points(x[m], x2[m], col = mdc(2)))
