Description Usage Arguments

Description

Control the parameters for generating patterns of missing data

Usage

missing_control(pattern, method, nr_cols, dep_cols, unobs_cols, mm_cols, beta_0,
  betas, prob, exact)

Arguments

pattern

A character string indicating whether missing data will occur in a MCAR, MAR or MNAR pattern

method

Optional character string. Allowed values are "princomp", "carpita" and "wu_ranking" if pattern = MAR, and MNAR

nr_cols

A character vector containing names of columns subject to missingness. If empty, all will be used.

dep_cols

A character vector containing names of columns to be used as covariates for patterns MAR and MNAR

unobs_cols

A character vector containing names of covariates that will not be included in the output.

beta_0

A numeric scalar for the intercept term in carpita models

betas

A numeric vector of length = length(dep_cols) of coefficients for covariates to affect the missingness. Recommded values -3 < x < 3.

prob

A numeric scalar with value 0 < prob < 1. mutually exclusive with exact. specifies the proportion of included variables that will contain missingness.

exact

An integer scalar with value > 0 and < maximum number of data points subject to missingness. specifies an exact number of data points to substitue. mutually exclusive with prob.
