Hello,
I apologize if an answer to my questions is available, or if I
submitted this question incorrectly. I have read the mailing lists, as
well as the R Project and CRAN homepages. However, I may have missed
something.
I noticed the package 'norm' has been removed. Its page
http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/norm/index.html now reads:
"Package ‘norm’ was removed from the CRAN repository.
Formerly available versions can be obtained from the archive."
My questions are:
1. Why was norm removed? I used the package and found it to be very
useful. Is there a serious error in the package or another problem?
2. If norm should no longer be removed, what is another good package
for ML (maximum likelihood) missing data imputation? I have seen
several recommendations online, but I wonder which one is currently
the "reigning champ."
Thank you very much. I appreciate your time!
