Description

satMcarWLS fits saturated structural models for the marginal probabilities of categorization under a missing completely at random (MCAR) assumption for the missingness mechanism by weighted least squares (WLS) methodology. It is based on input data of a readCatdata object. Functional linear models may be subsequently fitted using function funlinWLS().

Usage

1
satMcarWLS(catdataobj, zeroN)

Arguments

catdataobj

readCatdata object.

zeroN

values used to replace null frequencies in the denominator of the Neyman statistic; by default, the function replaces the values by

1/(R*nst)

, where nst is the sample size of the missingness pattern associated to the corresponding subpopulation; the user may indicate alternative values in a matrix with S rows and an additional column relatively to the number of columns of Rp; the first column relates to the completely categorized "missingness" patterns, and the remaining columns to the other missingness patterns as they appear in Rp; the values must be non-negative and less or equal to 0.5.

Details

The generic functions print and summary are used to print the results and to obtain a summary thereof.

Value

An object of the class satMcarWLS is a list containing most of the components of the readCatdata source object informed in the argument

1
catdataobj

as well as the following components:

theta

vector of WLS estimates for all product-multinomial probabilities under the saturated model for the marginal probabilities of categorization and a MCAR assumption.

Vtheta

corresponding estimated covariance matrix.

QnMCAR

the Neyman statistic for the conditional test of MCAR given a MAR assumption.

glMCAR

degrees of freedom for the conditional test of MCAR given a MAR assumption.

yst

WLS estimates for the augmented frequencies under the saturated model for the marginal probabilities and the MCAR mechanism.
