sens.test: Analysis of Deviance for Pooled Sensitivity Analysis Results

In davidaarmstrong/SensMiceDA: Multivariate Imputation by Chained Equations (Iteration Step for Sensitivity Analysis)

Description

Uses MIcombine to pool results from models estimated on the sensitivity imputed datasets.

Usage

sens.test(obj, var, sensData, impData, digits=3, ...)

Arguments

obj	A model estimated on the original, list-wise deleted data. The model will be re-estimated on the complete data from the sensitivity analysis and the original mice procedure. Must be a model for which update will work.
var	Character string identifying the variable for which the test is to be done.
sensData	Output from sens.est that includes multiply imputed datasets under a hypothetical non-ignorable mechanism.
impData	An object of class mids resulting from a call to mice that gives the imputed data assuming ignorability
digits	Number of digits to be printed in output
...	other arguments passed down to the model function, currently not implemented

Details

The function performs an incremental chi-squared test for the exclusion of a variable (var). The deviance is calculated for both the full and restricted models estimated on each completed dataset. The chi-squared statistic is calculated for each difference in deviance and then the p-values are averaged across all of the m iterations of the imputations according to Resseguier et a.

Value

Returns a matrix of average chi-squared statistics and average p-values
