Linear regression for mids object

Applies lm() to multiply imputed data set

Usage

lm.mids(formula, data, ...)

Arguments

formula: a formula object, with the response on the left of a ~ operator, and the terms, separated by + operators, on the right. See the documentation of lm and formula for details.
data: An object of type 'mids', which stands for 'multiply imputed data set', typically created by a call to function mice().
...: Additional parameters passed to lm

Value

An objects of class mira, which stands for 'multiply imputed repeated analysis'. This object contains data$m distinct lm.objects, plus some descriptive information.

Details

This function is included for backward compatibility with V1.0. The function is superseded by with.mids.
