[R] Survey imputation
I'm working with NHIS survye data. I'd like the to use muliple imputation to cover the missing data for the variables in which I'm interested. My question concerns the use of certain variables in the imputation model. For example, race would be an important predictor in the imputation model, but it has been imputed (hot deck) as have other variables that might be useful in the imputation model. What is the wisdom of using data that have been imputed in subsequent imputations models? __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.

Is this an R question? Seems like it belongs on a statistical or survey list, not r-help.

I paln on using R to do the imputation once I figure out how to do it. - Original Message - From: Bert Gunter gunter.ber...@gene.com To: Scott Raynaud scott.rayn...@yahoo.com Cc: r-help@r-project.org r-help@r-project.org Sent: Thursday, June 13, 2013 12:45 PM Subject: Re: [R] Survey imputation Is this an R question?

Re: [R] Survey imputation
See Lumley's text Complex Surveys, chapter 9: Missing Data. In addition to the survey package he also uses teh RSQLite and mitols packages in his worked examples. He doesn't use the NHIS data for the missing data chapter, but he does provide examples using NHIS for other tasks. -- David.
