or you can add some additional variables, which could make an NMAR process
into an MAR process.

Hi Kamontip,
Unfortunately, Amelia, along with almost all multiple imputation software,
requires the data be MAR. In general, if the data is MNAR, you will have to
build an application-specific model that incorporates specific assumptions
about the missing data mechanism.
Cheers,
matt.

Dear All,
I am Ph.D student at Chulalongkorn University in Thailand, I use your
package to impute missing data assump MAR and MNAR. I don't have problem to
impute under MAR, but I don't know how to impute MNAR. My MNAR data
generate under IRT model(3-PL);
n<-500 ## number of examinee
I<-20 ## number of items
num.imp<-5 ##number of imputations
p.missing<-c(0.09, 0.01) #prob of missing
theta<-sort(rnorm(n,0,1)) #ability
a<-rnorm(I,0.5,0.1) #discrimination
b<-rnorm(I,0,1) #difficulty
c<-runif(I,0,0.25) #guess
Only item 1-4 have missing data. If the response to each items was a 1
(correct), the probability of missing for each items was 1%. If the
response was a 0 (incorrect), the probability of missing was 9%. Thus,
the probability of missing each items was linked to the response of each
items itself (an unknown characteristic in real missing data situations).
Could you please tell me function or how to impute data under my
situation. I'am looking forward your advice.
Sincerely yours,
Kamontip Srihaset
