In terms of using Amelia, here's what I'd recommend--those who know more please correct any mistakes: 1. read the PDF that is one of those many icons. It will explain things like where to install Amelia, how to label the file, and how to use Amelia. 2. move amelia in a simple directory (c:\amelia), for instance. 3. put your data there as well 4. start amelia by double-clicking AMELIA.BAT. 5. From there, the program is pretty self-explanatory--enter your input file, enter your desired output file, check the priors to make sure they are what you want, and then run the program.

Hello, I'm trying to impute some missing data in my dataset, but it's not going too well. There are two programs that can do imputation: Gary's program and Schafer's program. Gary's program When I download Amelia, I get an icon my desktop. I click on it and many more icons show up on the desktop. I don't know what file runs the program. I clicked another Amelia icon, a window pops and immediately disappears. I think Dan had sort of similar problem, but I can't even run the program. HELP!!! Schafer's program I downloaded Schafer's Splus libraries on Science Center computers, but I can't put them in Library folder because of user restriction. I have Splus 2000, but Schafer's libraries are for Splus 4 and they are not compatible. Kosuke speculates that there is a way to put libraries in a local directory and make Splus recognize it. Any suggestions? Thanks, Chester _______________________________________________ gov2001-l mailing list gov2001-l(a)fas.harvard.edu http://www.fas.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/gov2001-l

New subject: [gov2001-l] amelia

We followed these clear instructions (thanks, Dan!), but still can't get our friend Amelia to start. When we click on Amelia.bat, two windows flash across the screen, and then disappear. We have Amelia in a simple directory, have our data in ".txt" format according to the guidelines in the pdf, and have the data and Amelia in the same directory. Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks, everyone, Ryan On Wed, 9 Apr 2003 dhopkins(a)fas.harvard.edu wrote:
