Working together: mice and psfmi

Martijn W Heymans

2023-06-16

Introduction

The mice function is one of the most used functions to apply multiple imputation. This page shows how functions in the psfmi package can be easily used in combination with mice. In this way multivariable models can easily be developed in combination with mice.

Installing the psfmi and mice packages

You can install the released version of psfmi with:

install.packages("psfmi")

And the development version from GitHub with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("mwheymans/psfmi")

You can install the released version of mice with:

install.packages("mice")
