I want to look at the "imputed data set" that "Amelia" makes after each successful run ... by default in GAUSS it makes in ".dat" format ... What should I do, I have tried in different ways, but could not get to look at them ... could you help me please ..say one of the file name that Amelia makes after successful runnning is c:\gauss6.0\impute1.dat Q2. Kindley check my code and tell me what I have done is correct or not ... oh! four variables of my data set are categorical on the scale of 1 to 5 new; cls; load y[240,8] = d:\missing.txt; dataset = "IMPUTE"; vnames = { x1, x2, x3, x4, x5, x6, x7, x8 }; c = saved(y,dataset,vnames); library amelia; /* initialize Amelia */ _AMnds=10; /* no. of imputations, default is 5*/ _AMprt=1; /*1 is in fact the default value, print output and intermediate results to the screen*/ _AMfully={1,2,3,4}; /* variables those do NOT have any missing value*/ _AMords={5,6,7,8}; /* variables those do have missing value*/ _AMordmd=0; _AMempri=3; /*use ridge prior*/ dbuf = amelia("IMPUTE"); /* impute and save m=10 imputed datasets */ save dbuf; end; Thanks and regards ...Sanjoy * I have registered into the Amelia group, but could not find exactly whom to send ... my registration id is "bhutudse(a)yahoo.com" -- Sanjoy Bhattacharjee PhD student School of Economic Sciences Washington State University Hulbert Hall, 207E Pullman, WA 99164 "Life is the art of drawing sufficient conclusions from insufficient premises" - Samuel Butler - Amelia mailing list served by Harvard-MIT Data Center [Un]Subscribe/View Archive: http://lists.hmdc.harvard.edu/?info=amelia
