is_absent

Returns true if a value is either NULL, NA or "".
In the case of a vector all values must be NULL/NA/""
for x to be regarded as absent.

Implements standard and reference based multiple imputation methods for continuous
longitudinal endpoints (Gower-Page et al. (2022) <doi:10.21105/joss.04251>). In particular,
this package supports deterministic conditional mean imputation and jackknifing as described
in Wolbers et al. (2022) <doi:10.1002/pst.2234>, Bayesian multiple imputation as described
in Carpenter et al. (2013) <doi:10.1080/10543406.2013.834911>, and bootstrapped maximum
likelihood imputation as described in von Hippel and Bartlett (2021) <doi: 10.1214/20-STS793>.
