Hi all,
I've recently discovered gretl, having been a fairly elementary user of R and Stata
for a few years.
I do work with multiple imputation datasets, and I generate them in R, using the Amelia
package. But the sorts of tests I want to run aren't easily done using any of the more
canned packages, so I end up having to write long code files to implement Rubin's
(1986) combination rules for MI parameter estimates.
I don't need to use gretl to do the actual MI, but I wonder if there's any
facility in gretl for doing analysis on separate MI-generated datasets and then combining
the results according to the Rubin rules. That is, can gretl be told easily to run a
procedure m times for the m existing datasets and then combine the results to get 1
parameter estimate?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Best, -Nathan A. Paxton
