[amelia] bugfix in the 'ords' argument

Hello all, We just patched up a bug in the handling of "ordinals" in Amelia. The "ords" argument forces imputations into the ordinal categories, but this transformation had a bug in it, resulting in some incorrect imputations. The problem was limited only to those variables marked as "ords" so the other imputed variables would be fine. The version of Amelia (1.1-29) will be up on CRAN shortly, but until then, you can use the following command to update your version of Amelia: install.packages("Amelia", repos="http://gking.harvard.edu") The fix should resolve any issues with problematic ordinal imputations such as unimputed variables and/or strange imputations. Note that this transformation is usually unnecessary for most analyses and is useful when the variable will be a dependent variable in the analysis stage. See the Amelia manual for more information. Please let us know if you have any problems. regards, the amelia team. - Amelia mailing list served by Harvard-MIT Data Center [Un]Subscribe/View Archive: http://lists.gking.harvard.edu/?info=amelia
