[amelia] Re: imputation problems

Hi folks! I'm having trouble with an imputation. When I run the following on the attached data, I get the subsequent error. Any thoughts on how to fix? a.out <- amelia( vars.to.impute, m=5, outname="miset", idvars=c("caseid", "weight", "inputstate", "race", "religion", "as_likely", "less_likely"), noms=c("gender", "bornagain", "cbsatype"), ords=c( "haidt_compassion", "haidt_animal", "haidt_fairly", "haidt_justice", "haidt_history", "haidt_family", "haidt_kidrespect", "haidt_sexroles", "haidt_harmlessdg", "haidt_unnatural", "instr_less", "instr_het_relate", "instr_same_relate", "instr_confusion", "instr_bigoted", "instr_bio", "instr_single", "instr_teach", "policy_favor_hets", "policy_adoptsingle", "policy_adopt", "policy_partner", "policy_foster", "policy_custody", "policy_sperm", "policy_fertility", "policy_gay_marriage", "policy_housing", "policy_employment", "policy_unions1", "expressive_motives1", "expressive_motives2", "expressive_family", "expressive_society", "expressive_slip_slope", "expressive_bio_ideal", "expressive_equal1", "experessive_race", "policy_gun", "policy_cappun", "policy_pot", "policy_prostitute", "policy_healthcare", "policy_taxcut", "policy_affect", "policy_nuke", "policy_warming", "policy_draft", "Rank_adopt_welfare", "Rank_adopt_religion", "Rank_adopt_rights", "Rank_adopt_moral", "Rank_adopt_traditions", "Bother_kiss", "Bother_hands", "Bother_swing", "Bother_married", "risk_confusion", "risk_experiment", "risk_homosexual", "risk_teasing", "risk_abnormal", "risk_depression", "risk_addiction", "risk_molested", "risk_badkid", "risk_sexualize", "info_friends", "info_church", "info_news", "info_studies", "info_sense", "exposure_immediate", "exposure_extended", "exposure_friends", "exposure_other", "crack.rank", "pot.rank", "belt.rank", "slap.rank", "income", "ideo5", "pid6","churatd", "age", "educ" )) -- Imputation 1 -- 1 Error in eigen(thetanew[2:nrow(thetanew), 2:ncol(thetanew)], only.values = TRUE, : infinite or missing values in 'x' Thanks in advance for any help!
