Imputes univariate missing data using linear regression analysis without accounting for the uncertainty of the model parameters.
mice.impute.norm.nob(y, ry, x, wy = NULL, ...)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.
Vector with imputed data, same type as y, and of length
sum(wy)
The function does not incorporate the variability of the regression weights, so it is not 'proper' in the sense of Rubin. For small samples, variability of the imputed data is therefore underestimated.
This function creates imputations using the spread around the
fitted linear regression line of y given x, as
fitted on the observed data.
This function is provided mainly to allow comparison between proper (e.g.,
as implemented in mice.impute.norm and improper (this function)
normal imputation methods.
For large data, having many rows, differences between proper and improper
methods are small, and in those cases one may opt for speed by using
mice.impute.norm.nob.
