imp_roundedcont(
  y_df,
  X_imp,
  PSI,
  pvalue = 0.2,
  k = Inf,
  rounding_degrees = NULL
)

Arguments

y_df

A data.frame with the variable to impute.

X_imp

A data.frame with the fixed effects variables explaining y_df.

PSI

A data.frame with the variables explaining the latent rounding tendency G.

pvalue

A numeric between 0 and 1 denoting the threshold of p-values a variable in the imputation model should not exceed. If they do, they are excluded from the imputation model.

k

An integer defining the allowed maximum of levels in a factor covariate.

rounding_degrees

A numeric vector with the presumed rounding degrees for Y.

Value

A n x 1 data.frame with the original and imputed values.
