Hi all, 

Hot on the heels of the release of R 2.15, we are happy to announce the release of Amelia 1.6.1. This update incorporates a few new features and a few bugfixes, including one that prevented AmeliaView from opening. You can now use the R generic "transform" function to create new variables in each of the imputed datasets. To learn more, see section 4.8 of our manual:

To install this update, run the following lines of code at the R prompt:

install.packages("Amelia", repos = "http://cran.r-project.org")

And here is a list of the changes since the last update to CRAN:

== 1.6.1 (30 Mar 2012) ==

   * Fixed a bug that prevented AmeliaView from opening. 

== 1.6 (22 Feb 2012) ==

   * Added a transform function to create transformed variables 

   in the imputed datasets.

   * Added a mi.meld() function that can combine quantities of 

   interest using the Rubin rules.

   * Added a subset arugment to overimpute. 

   * write.amelia() can now create a stacked/long imputed 

   datatset (also updated to AmeliaView)

   * Fixed a bug in moPrep (Thanks to Jeff Arnold for the patch)

   * missmap() has an arugment to not re-order the variables.

If you have any problems or questions, please feel free to send an email to list.
