I am a newcomer to the Amelia mailing list and to Amelia.
I have a very large dataset (obs = 4696) with 232 variables (45 of which I
am marking as idvars to remove them from the imputation model).
I am receiving an error message related to my use of the "empri" argument:
Error in amelia.default(x = SENSE.3, m = 5, p2s = 2, idvars = c("X",
"srvagain", :
formal argument "empri" matched by multiple actual arguments
because I am a novice user of R, I am not sure where this may be coming
from. The code I used was copied from the AmeliaView() option, then
modified, so perhaps there are syntax artifacts left over from copying that
auto-produced code that I need to change?
Thanks for any indications.
