mice.impute.logreg: Imputation by logistic regression

In mice: Multivariate Imputation by Chained Equations

Imputation by logistic regression

Description

Imputes univariate missing data using logistic regression.

Usage

mice.impute.logreg(y, ry, x, wy = NULL, ...)

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.
wy	Logical vector of length length(y). A TRUE value indicates locations in y for which imputations are created.
...	Other named arguments.

Details

Imputation for binary response variables by the Bayesian logistic regression model (Rubin 1987, p. 169-170). The Bayesian method consists of the following steps:

1. Fit a logit, and find (bhat, V(bhat))

2. Draw BETA from N(bhat, V(bhat))

3. Compute predicted scores for m.d., i.e. logit-1(X BETA)

4. Compare the score to a random (0,1) deviate, and impute.

The method relies on the standard glm.fit function. Warnings from glm.fit are suppressed. Perfect prediction is handled by the data augmentation method.

Value

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