Family = 'binomial' doesn't work in fit.mult.impute with fitter = glm

1

Hello,
family = ‘binomial’ doesn’t work in fit.mult.impute with fitter = glm
I have updated versions of Hmisc 5.2-2 and rms 7.0-0
The same code with fitter = lrm works without flaws
Any suggestions

Best wishes Fredrik L

Did you try the Glm fitter in place of glm? Please move this discussion to the parent rms topic datamethods.org/rms

Well, I got the same error message with fitter = Glm
Error in fit.mult.impute(kyp ~ Age + Start + Number, fitter = Glm, family = “binomial”, :
unused argument (family = “binomial”)

I haven’t tested this out but it looks like fit.mult.impute doesn’t have a family argument; you have to pass it to glm via the fitargs argument, i.e.:

fit.mult.impute(kyp ~ Age + Start + Number, fitter = glm, fitargs = list(family = "binomial"), ...)
