Conversion of Plausible Value Object into Datalist

Converts a tam.pv object and a matrix of covariates into a list of multiply imputed datasets. This list can be conveniently analyzed by R packages such as semTools, Zelig, mice or BIFIEsurvey.

      as_mids=FALSE, stringsAsFactors=FALSE)

Arguments

tam.pv.object

Generated tam.pv object

pvnames

Variable names of generated plausible values

Y
