em.il.interaction {brlrmr}

em.il.interaction

Description

It is called by the main function fil and is for internal use.

Usage

em.il.interaction(parameter, X, full.missing.data, observed.data, full.data, k, family)

Arguments

parameter

The starting values of the parameters as (\beta, \alpha) where \beta is the parameters of original model and \alpha is the for the missing data model.

X

The design matrix with the intercept column.

full.missing.data

The augmented response with design matrix and missing indicator 1 for missing data.

observed.data

The observed response with design matrix and missing indicator 0 for observed data.

full.data

The observed response, augmented response with corresponding design matrix and missing indicator 0 for observed data and 1 for missing data.

k

If interaction is present in the missing data model, then the k is the column number of covariate matrix which has interaction with the response.

family

as in glm. brlrmr currently supports only the "binomial" family with links
