Hello!
Some time ago I scientifically began to deal with the problem of missing
data analysis, especially multiple imputation. While trying to use Amelia
for Gauss I approached a real problem. I tried to make some imputations on
my data with five interval variables. Two of them were MCAR. As in the
example in the manual:
new;
library amelia;
_AMepri=3;
dbuf = amelia("miss"); ***** "miss" is my data name
I tried to start Amelia, but instead of imputation I received info:
C:\gauss\miss.dht: (CODE NUMBER: ....) File NOT FOUND.
I verified if data is OK, changed its name, but nothing helped.
What can be wrong?
I use Gauss for Windows 3.2.33.
Thank you for help in advance!

although it shouldn't matter in how you're using it, miss is a Gauss
reserved word and so you might change that.
your gauss.cfg file is using the old version of gauss files, which has 2
files for each data set. the dht is the header file. i'd switch it to
the new one if your version of gauss allows it (or you might update
gauss). but either way, you should be able to get this to work by
matching the kind of data file you have in your default directory with
what the cfg file expects.
