datalist2mids

Converting a List of Multiply Imputed Data Sets into a mids Object


Description

This function converts a list of multiply imputed data sets to a mice::mids object.

Usage

datlist2mids(dat.list, progress=FALSE)
datalist2mids(dat.list, progress=FALSE)

Arguments

dat.list

List of multiply imputed data sets or an object of class imputationList (see mitools::imputationList )

progress

An optional logical indicating whether conversion process be displayed

Value

An object of class mids

See Also

See mice::as.mids for converting a multiply imputed dataset in long format into a mids object.
