`ggmice`

Visualizations for`mice` with `ggplot2`

Enhance a miceimputation workflow with visualizations for incomplete and/or imputed data. The ggmice functions produce ggplotobjects which may be easily manipulated or extended. Useggmice to inspect missing data, develop imputation models, evaluate algorithmic convergence, or compare observed versus imputed data.

Installation

You can install the latest ggmice release from CRAN with:

install.packages("ggmice")

Alternatively, you could install the development version ofggmice from GitHubwith:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("amices/ggmice")

Example

Inspect the missing data in an incomplete dataset and subsequently evaluate the imputed data points against observed data. See the Get startedvignette for an overview of all functionalities. Example data from mice, showing height (in cm) by age (in years).

# load packages
library(ggplot2)
library(mice)
library(ggmice)
# load some data
dat <- boys
# visualize the incomplete data
ggmice(dat, aes(age, hgt)) + geom_point()

# impute the incomplete data
imp <- mice(dat, m = 1, seed = 1)
# visualize the imputed data
ggmice(imp, aes(age, hgt)) + geom_point()

Acknowledgements

The ggmice package is developed with guidance and feedback from the Amices team. The ggmice hex is based on the ggplot2and mice hex designs.
