Provides imputation models and functions for binary or continuous Missing Not At Random (MNAR) outcomes through the use of the 'mice
' package. The mice.impute.hecknorm()
function provides imputation model for continuous outcome based on Heckman's model also named sample selection model as described in Galimard et al (2018) and Galimard et al (2016) <doi:10.1002/sim.6902>. The mice.impute.heckprob()
function provides imputation model for binary outcome based on bivariate probit model as described in Galimard et al (2018).
As these two previous imputation models require to specify a selection and an outcome equation, mice()
function has to be adapted using MNARargument()
.
This package is only validated for the imputation of MNAR outcome. However, it is implemented to impute several MNAR variables in the same process. Such implementation must be realised carefully.
