Dear Developers
I have been a strong advocate of Amelia II. To date I have taught
four missing data workshops in both the US and Europe demoing Amelia
II. Two my workshops had a hands on component where I made the
participants do their own imputations. My experience teaching Amelia
II has pointed out one feature that is badly missing from the GUI. A
random generator seed setter. It would be really nice if we could set
a seed in the GUI if we wanted to so we could get the same imputations
on every computer in the classroom. It would also be very nice in
terms of logging replication information of which I am a very strong
proponents of (mainly due to the efforts of Gary King himself). But
right now (as far as I know) appropriate logging facilities through
the use of random number generator seeds are only available to command
line users of Amelia II. Additionally, some easy to use logging
function that logs the R syntax of every step taken in the GUI would
also be beneficial.
Please include these feature in a future release of Amelia II.
Thanks.
