Hi fellow Amelia users,
I have a dataset with 51 observations (one for each American state +
the District of Columbia) and nearly 150 variables. Is there a way to
do imputations when variables>observations? (One of my analysis goals
is to factor analyze the variables to attempt and identify what I
believe to be the 2-4 dimensions in the data.)
Because I primarily use Stata, I am using AmeliaView. An initial
attempt to impute missing values produced the following error:
"Amelia Error Code: 34 The number of observations in too low to
estimate the number of parameters. You can either remove some
variables, reduce the order of the time polynomial, or increase the
empirical prior."
If anyone has advice for me, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
Sincerely,
Ben Highton
