## Multivariate Imputation by Chained Equations for DataSHIELD - Server

The [`mice`](https://github.com/stefvanbuuren/mice) package
creates multiple imputations (replacement values) for multivariate
missing data.

The [`DataSHIELD`](https://github.com/datashield) framework is a
platform for federated data analysis that brings the algorithm to
the data.

The [`dsMiceClient`](https://github.com/stefvanbuuren/dsMiceClient) package is an
add-on to `mice` that makes multiple imputation available for federated data systems.
This is the package that the `DataSHIELD` end user installs locally.

The [`dsMice`](https://github.com/stefvanbuuren/dsMice) package is part of the
`DataSHIELD` infrastructure. This is the package that the `DataSHIELD` node
owner installs on the server.

## Installation

The following code installs the `dsMice` package on the node server:

  ```r
devtools::install_github("stefvanbuuren/dsMice")

In order to work well, the end user should that the dsMiceClient package installed locally.

Note

Warning: This is an experimental feature. These function do not yet actually work. If you have ideas about the integration of mice and DataSHIELD feel free to join in.
