It specifies the target variable or block in the rows, and the predictor variables on the columns. An entry of 0 means that the column variable is NOT used to impute the row variable or block. A nonzero value indicates that it is used.

Usage

make.predictorMatrixDS(data, blocks = make.blocks(data))

Arguments

data	A data.frame with the source data
blocks	An optional specification for blocks of variables in the rows. The default assigns each variable in its own block.
