ibindlist: Combine a List of 'mids' Objects

In jesse-smith/futuremice: A Future for MICE

Combine a List of mids Objects

Description

Combines a list of mids objects into a single mids object. The resulting number of imputed data sets is equal to the sum of the number of imputed data sets in each list element.

Usage

ibindlist(mids_list, call = NULL, seed = NULL, last_seed_value = NULL)

Arguments

mids_list	List of mids objects to combine
call	An optional call to use for the call attribute of the resulting mids object. The default uses the call in mids_list[[1]]$call.
seed	An optional integer to set as the seed attribute of the resulting mids object.
last_seed_value	An optional .Random.seed value to set as the lastSeedValue attribute of the resulting mids object

Details

The call, seed, and last_seed_value arguments are primarily used by future_mice() and future_mids(); they allow modification of the mids object to match the equivalent mice::mice() output exactly.

Value

A combined mids object

Examples

# Create individual `mids` objects
mids1 <- mice::mice(mice::nhanes, m = 1L, maxit = 1L, seed = 1L)
mids2 <- mice::mice(mice::nhanes, m = 2L, maxit = 1L, seed = 2L)
mids3 <- mice::mice(mice::nhanes, m = 3L, maxit = 1L, seed = 3L)

# Combine imputations
mids6 <- ibindlist(list(mids1, mids2, mids3))
mids6
