Is there a way to bound variables via relationships with other variables in
the dataset when multiply imputing with Amelia? For example, if we have a
household income variable and a household savings variable (both with some
missingness) in our dataset, is there a way to specify that savings must be
less than income for each observation in the imputed datasets? Priors and
logical bounds currently in Amelia don't seem like they are set up to do
this exactly.
Thanks!
