Re: [amelia] Feature Request

Dear Developers I have been a strong advocate of Amelia II. To date I have taught four missing data workshops in both the US and Europe demoing Amelia II. Two my workshops had a hands on component where I made the participants do their own imputations. My experience teaching Amelia II has pointed out one feature that is badly missing from the GUI. A random generator seed setter. It would be really nice if we could set a seed in the GUI if we wanted to so we could get the same imputations on every computer in the classroom. It would also be very nice in terms of logging replication information of which I am a very strong proponents of (mainly due to the efforts of Gary King himself). But right now (as far as I know) appropriate logging facilities through the use of random number generator seeds are only available to command line users of Amelia II. Additionally, some easy to use logging function that logs the R syntax of every step taken in the GUI would also be beneficial. Please include these feature in a future release of Amelia II. Thanks.
