Multiple imputation for continuous and categorical data
“The idea of imputation is both seductive and dangerous” (R.J.A Little & D.B. Rubin). Indeed, a predicted value is considered as an observed one and the uncertainty of prediction is ignored, conducting to bad inferences with missing values. That is why Multiple Imputation is recommended. The missMDA package quickly generates several imputed...
