Hi Andrew, 

Hm, it's hard to know exactly what's happening here. What happens when you try to set the prior for all units for that variable? Also, what type of variable is this?

Cheers,
Matt

Dear all,


I am using AmeliaView, and when I enter priors, I get the following once I run it in the output log:


amelia(x = getAmelia("amelia.data"), m = 5, idvars = "ABBR",
       ts = "YEAR", cs = "COUNTRY", priors = c(27, 28, 61, 83, 98,
       100, 113, 127, 128, 129, 141, NA, NA, NA, NA, NA, NA, NA,
       NA, NA, NA, NA, 696.5, 1109.5, 1178, 36.5, 220, 109, 2396.5,
       5625, 4625, 4625, 1261, 4.55967623933827, 4.55967623933827,
       3.03978415955885, 11.8551582222795, 7.903438814853, 66.2672946783829,
       2.73580574360296, 1595.88668376839, 2203.84351568016, 2203.84351568016,
       3.64774099147062), lags = c("UNEMP", "NETMIGPOP"), empri = 0,
       intercs = FALSE, leads = NULL, splinetime = NULL, logs = NULL,
       sqrts = NULL, lgstc = NULL, ords = NULL, noms = NULL, bounds = NULL,
       max.resample = 1000, tolerance = 1e-04)

Amelia Error Code:  48  
 There are missing values in the priors matrix.


I ran one successful imputation on a similar dataset, and the only difference was the column was coded as
'23'  I don't know how to use 'R' otherwise I assume I could copy and paste this with the column number manually put in.  Help would be immensely appreciated.


Best regards,

Andrew Stark
