Using Amelia (multiple imputation) output for analysis using functions other than linear regression

Question

Background Use of the Zelig package on Amelia output for linear regression is well outlined in the Amelia II documentation.

Problem Unfortunately, I am unable to find any documentation of how to use this output for other analysis. The problem seems to lie with how other packages see the Amelia output.

Since the Zelig package seems be able to treat all the imputations as one data set, I'd love to be able to use that single data set for manipulation with other packages (e.g., dplyr), but I'm unable to get a single data.frame out of the package.

Answer 1

I'm not sure if this answers your question, but you can extract the imputed datasets using:

df <- a.out$imputations[[1]]

Which will assign the first imputed dataset to the data.frame df.
