WHAT documentation are you talking about?.. ..when I realized my Amelia installation must be one change behind... (All the docs I had were 6 weeks out of date....). ...However, having realized that and tried to fix it, I still note two problems... (....I realize this kind of stuff is hard to jeep up with-- and am most grateful that anyone is even trying.... So please accept my comments as constructive and not critical...) (1) The version of the PDF manual avail at the R website and included in the Amelia R-package (dated 04-27-09) seems substantially different from the version available at Gary King's website (dated 05-17-09...) See... http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/Amelia/Amelia.pdf http://gking.harvard.edu/amelia/docs/amelia.pdf (2) I can't open the entries in the Help file provided with the Amelia package.... After opening \ library \ Amelia \ chtm \ Amelia.chm ...if you click on an entry in the left window, nothing comes up in the right (main) window... (See attached zip file). Thanks...

You will now find the imputed datasets in the following locations: imputed$imputations[[1]] imputed$imputations[[2]] ... imputed$imputations[[m]] Amelia no longer saves the imputed datasets from the amelia() function. You can write the datasets to file using the write.amelia() function: write.amelia(imputed, file.stem = "outdata") For further details, take a look at the manual page for write.amelia() or see the Amelia documentation (section 5.2.1 should have the relevant information). I hope that helps, matt. --------------------------------- ** INITIAL EMAIL DELETED ** <http://1429236.signature1.mailinfo.com/confirm2.6/0605020B/00070444/0F014C0 0/87102242.jpg>
