Hi Jonathan, Would you be kind enough to give sufficient detail to reproduce such a case? I've used 'norm' (and 'cat' and 'mix') quite extensively, without encountering non-sensible results (at any rate in situations where the packages were not being abused, which one can do in certain circumstances -- imputing missing values can depend quite strongly on supplying realistic constraints, and on not expecting too much when the proportion of missing data is substantial: this methodology does not have magical powers!). best wishes, Ted. -------------------------------------------------------------------- E-Mail: (Ted Harding) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Fax-to-email: +44 (0)870 094 0861 Date: 26-Apr-05 Time: 12:47:42 ------------------------------ XFMail ------------------------------ ______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
