Hi Folks, 

I'm getting some odd levels in my post-imputation data: 

> levels(as.factor(a.out$imputations[[1]]$facts_convict))
[1] "1" "1" "2" "3" "4" "5" "6"

The "facts_convict" variable is imputed as ordinal, but the double "1"s aren't there prior to imputing: 

> levels(as.factor(my.data$facts_convict))
[1] "1" "2" "3" "4" "5" "6"

Also, I can't seem to cure this by converting to numeric and back: 

> levels(as.factor(as.numeric(a.out$imputations[[1]]$facts_convict)))
[1] "1" "1" "2" "3" "4" "5" "6"

Not sure how/why the double "1" crept in during imputation.  As you can imagine, ologits end up being odd, with two estimates for "1".  Any thoughts?
