missMDA (version 1.10)

prelim: Converts a dataset imputed by MIMCA or MIPCA into a mids object

Description

This function performs grouping and sorting operations on a multiply imputed dataset. It creates a mids object that is needed for input to with.mids, which allows analyse of the multiply imputed data set. The original incomplete data set needs to be available so that we know where the missing data are.

Usage

prelim(res.mi,X)

Arguments

res.mi

an output of the functions MIPCA or MIMCA

X

the original incomplete data set corresponding to the res.mi argument

Value

imp.mids

An object of type mids

Examples

## Not run: 
# data(TitanicNA)
# 
# ## First the number of components has to be chosen 
# ##   (for the reconstruction step)
# ## nb <- estim_ncpMCA(TitanicNA,ncp.max=5) ## Time-consuming, nb = 5
# 
# ## Multiple Imputation
# res.mi <- MIMCA(TitanicNA, ncp=5, verbose=T)
# 
# #Analysis
# imp<-prelim(res.mi,TitanicNA)
# fit <- with(data=imp,exp=glm(SURV~CLASS+AGE+SEX,family = "binomial"))
# 
# #Pooling
# res.pool<-pool(fit)
# summary(res.pool)
# ## End(Not run)
