Hello all,
I just wanted to inform you that a new version of Amelia (1.1-30) has
been updated to both the Amelia website and CRAN. The added features
mostly affect the AmeliaView GUI. They include:
-a "seed" option in AmeliaView for running Amelia with a specified
seed for easier replication
-the ability to save the Amelia output to a .RData file from within
the AmeliaView GUI
-the ability to hold the Amelia output in the R Global environment
from within the AmeliaView GUI, meaning that when you close the GUI,
the Amelia output will be in your workspace.
The seed feature is key for anyone trying to exactly replicate an
imputation procedure. The third feature allows you fire up R, load the
GUI, run Amelia from the GUI, close the GUI and interact with the
output of Amelia from within R. This may be convenient for those who
are learning R or have large datasets and are looking for a easy way
to configure options.
To get the latest version of Amelia, first make sure you have the
latest version of R, then run the following command in R:
install.packages("Amelia")
or
install.packages("Amelia", repos="http://gking.harvard.edu")
Please let us know if you have any problems with this updated version.
Furthermore, please let us know if there are any features that you
would like to see in future versions of Amelia. Thanks.
regards,
matt blackwell.
