Examples

#### linear regression with weights ####

## data

                 X = c(1,1,2,2,2),

                 weights = c(1,1,2,1,NA))

## using lm
e.lm.GS <- lm(Y~X, data = df)
e.lm.test <- lm(Y~X, data = df[df$missing==0,], weights = df[df$missing==0,"weights"])

## using lvm

## e.lava.test <- estimate(m, df[df$missing==0,], weights = df[df$missing==0,"weights"])
