Class "allcategorical_missing_data.frame"
This class inherits from the missing_data.frame-class
but is customized for the situation where all the variables are categorical.
The fit_model-methods
for the allcategorical_missing_data.frame class
implement a Gibbs sampler. However, it does not utilize any ordinal information that
may be available. Continuous variables should be made into factors using the
cut
command before calling missing_data.frame
.
Objects can be created by calls of the form new("allcategorical_missing_data.frame", ...)
.
However, its users almost always will pass a data.frame
to the
missing_data.frame
function and specify the subclass
argument.
The allcategorical_missing_data.frame class inherits from the missing_data.frame-class
and
has three additional slots
Positive integer indicating the maximum number of latent classes
A list that holds the current realization of the unknown parameters
An object of unordered-categorical-class
that contains
the current realization of the latent classes
