Subject: Can S-Plus packages be used in R without modification?
In-Reply-To: <000001c3eeaf$c0f27af0$691edb89@alistaircampbel>
Dear Alistair,
All of Shafer's packages have been ported to R and are on CRAN. There are
also some facilities for multiple imputation in the Hmisc package, and in
the mice package -- not on CRAN, but available at
<http://www.multiple-imputation.com/>. There are probably other multiple
imputation facilities in R of which I'm unaware.
I hope that this helps,
John
