Dr. Costello I am having an issue with the data imputation methods (TODO #3), I have tried three different methods: 1). Multivariate imputations via chained equations) this kept running but would not complete, I think my machine is not powerful enough do complete the task in a reasonable time. 2). Amelia packages, takes sample of bootstrap and runs an EMB algorithm, this method did not work because of the variables >> observations problem. 3). I tried a random forest method with the package missForest, this like (MICE) won't complete the task in a reasonable time.
If you have any suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated.
Created by Jonathan Dekermanjian Dekermanjian Thank you for the advice. I managed to get everything to run by using a smaller data set and tweaking some of the settings with the multivariate imputations method. Hi Jonathan, two thoughts. First, you can work with a smaller dataset if you are running into size issues. Second, don't be overly complicated with your data imputation method. very simple approaches like inferring the mean can work pretty well.
