Hi Philippe, 

I believe that is correct about overimputing nominal/ordinal variables. We'll try to add a more informative error message (and potentially think about adding overimputation for at least ordinal variables). 

Cheers,
matt.

Hello Again,

It seems like the variables specified as nominal/ordinal are not "overimputable" (?)

Best,
Philippe

Dear All,

I am trying to overimpute a variable and get the error:

var doesn't exist in the amelia output.  It either didn't get imputed or is out of the range of columns.

The variable exists, and has been imputed. The compare.density also works for that variable.

How many columns are allowed? the dataset is very large with about 16'000 observations.

Thank you for your help.

Best,
Philippe
