mice.impute.2l.bin: Imputation by a two-level logistic model using 'glmer'

In mice: Multivariate Imputation by Chained Equations

Imputation by a two-level logistic model using glmer

Description

Imputes univariate systematically and sporadically missing data using a two-level logistic model using lme4::glmer()

Usage

mice.impute.2l.bin(y, ry, x, type, wy = NULL, intercept = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

y	Vector to be imputed
ry	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.
x	Numeric design matrix with length(y) rows with predictors for y. Matrix x may have no missing values.
type	Vector of length ncol(x) identifying random and class variables. Random variables are identified by a '2'. The class variable (only one is allowed) is coded as '-2'. Fixed effects are indicated by a '1'.
wy	Logical vector of length length(y). A TRUE value indicates locations in y for which imputations are created.
intercept	Logical determining whether the intercept is automatically added.
...	Arguments passed down to glmer

Details

Data are missing systematically if they have not been measured, e.g., in the case where we combine data from different sources. Data are missing sporadically if they have been partially observed.

Value

Vector with imputed data, same type as y, and of length sum(wy)
