Re: [amelia] separating NAs and DKs in Amelia analysis?

Hi Shanruo, If you don't want to include the NAs in the analysis at all, you can remove them from the data and then run the imputation model. You could also leave them in the imputation, but then change their imputations back NA manually. Note that any cell that needs to be imputed must be coded as "NA" (the missing value code for R). An alternative method would be to code all NAs as another category of the variable which is observed. Only DKs would then be missing. Hope that helps, matt.
