Hi, I have had a quick search to see whether this question has been asked/answered before but haven't found anything directly related to it. Basically, I am wondering if I can run the packages, developed by Shafer for S-Plus, that allow multiple imputation of missing data - NORM, CAT, MIX, and PAN. If not, does anyone know if someone has done the modification that would make these packages available in R? And/or, does anyone know of other packages that facilitate multiple imputation of missing data that can be run from R?

Can S-Plus packages be used in R without modification?

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
