Dear Amelia Developers,

I would like to learn more about the bootstrap used to generate m samples of the data, especially how it is done for CSTS data. I cannot open/download the documentation pdf from http://gking.harvard.edu/amelia/docs/amelia.pdf . The error message says that the file is damaged and could not be repaired. I also searched for “documentation” in the archives and got some but not enough information from Honaker and King “What to do about Missing Values in Time Series Cross-Sectional Data” (April 18, 2009 version).

Is the documentation available elsewhere or could it be emailed to me?

I also subscribed to the Amelia list and can direct future questions to the list.

Many thanks!

Tanja

PS: I’m not trying to be pedantic but thought you might want to know that the reference in the Amelia html help for R has a little typo:

Abayomi, K. and Gelman, A. and Levy, M. 2005. "Diagnostics for Multivariate Imputations," Applied Statistics. 57,3: 273–291.

Should be:

Abayomi, K. and Gelman, A. and Levy, M. 2008. "Diagnostics for Multivariate Imputations," Applied Statistics. 57,3: 273–291.
