rrp is working!
Sorry, it was my mistake... fiddling around to find
out what the problem is I forgot to re-include the
variables which are to be imputed. It seems like this
case is not caught but the algorithm finishes with the
mentioned error.
Anyway, I am still a little fuzzy about imputation and
browsing the web I found no clear recommendations
regarding this topic. Which R function would you
recommend for imputing categorical variables /
factors?
Many thanks,
Werner
