Imputes univariate missing data using linear discriminant analysis
mice.impute.lda(y, ry, x, wy = NULL, ...)Vector with imputed data, of type factor, and of length
sum(wy)
Vector to be imputed
Logical vector of length length(y) indicating the
the subset y[ry] of elements in y to which the imputation
model is fitted. The ry generally distinguishes the observed
(TRUE) and missing values (FALSE) in y.
Numeric design matrix with length(y) rows with predictors for
y. Matrix x may have no missing values.
Logical vector of length length(y). A TRUE value
indicates locations in y for which imputations are created.
Other named arguments. Not used.
The function does not incorporate the variability of the
discriminant weight, so it is not 'proper' in the sense of Rubin. For small
samples and rare categories in the y, variability of the imputed data
could therefore be underestimated.
Added: SvB June 2009 Tried to include bootstrap, but disabled since bootstrapping may easily lead to constant variables within groups.
Stef van Buuren, Karin Groothuis-Oudshoorn, 2000
Imputation of categorical response variables by linear discriminant analysis.
This function uses the Venables/Ripley functions lda() and
predict.lda() to compute posterior probabilities for each incomplete
case, and draws the imputations from this posterior.
This function can be called from within the Gibbs sampler by specifying
"lda" in the method argument of mice(). This method is usually
faster and uses fewer resources than calling the function, but the statistical
properties may not be as good (Brand, 1999).
