impu_det_lin {convergEU}

Imputation of missing values

Description

Imputation is deterministic and based on a straight line between two points.

Usage

impu_det_lin(timeIni, timeEnd, timeDelta, indicIni, indicFin)

Arguments

timeIni

starting time

timeEnd

ending time

timeDelta

collection of times where missing values are located

indicIni

observed value at timeIni

indicFin

observed value at timeEnd

Value

imputed tibble with an indicator of missingness (wasMissing).

Examples

# Example 1
# Simplest Imputation of one missing value between two observed values:
res1 <- impu_det_lin(timeIni= 88,
    timeEnd = 90,
    timeDelta = 89,
    indicIni = 120,
    indicFin = 100)

# Example 2
# Multiple Imputation of  missing values:
    res2 <-impu_det_lin(timeIni= 90,
    timeEnd = 93,
    timeDelta=c(91,92),
    indicIni = 100,
    indicFin = 108)

# Multiple Imputation of  missing values with delta > 1:
res3 <- impu_det_lin(timeIni= 2000,
    timeEnd = 2015,
    timeDelta=seq(2005,2010,5),
    indicIni = 100,
    indicFin = 108)
