The pool()
function combines the estimates from n
repeated complete data analyses. The typical sequence of steps to do a matching procedure or estimating weights of observations of the imputed datasets are:
Impute the missing data points by the mice
function (from the mice package), resulting in a multiple imputed dataset (an object of the mids
class);
Match each imputed dataset using a matching model by the matchitmice()
function, resulting in an object of the mimids
class or estimate weights of observations in the imputed datasets by the weightitmice()
function, resulting in an object of the wimids
class;
Fit the model of interest (scientific model) on each matched or weighted dataset by the with()
function, resulting in an object of the mira
class;
Pool the estimates from each model into a single set of estimates and standard errors, resulting in an object of the mipo
class.

The pool()
function averages the estimates of the complete data model and computes the total variance over the repeated analyses by the Rubin’s rules.
This function returns an object of the mipo
class (multiple imputation pooled outcome).
