Impute missing ages in survey data — survey_impute

This function imputes the participant and contact data in a survey() object. You can impute these values yourself with impute_participant_ages() and impute_contact_ages(). We recommend imputing before processing ages with survey_process_ages().

Usage

survey_impute_ages(
  survey,
  missing_participant_age = c("mean", "sample", "missing"),
  missing_contact_age = c("mean", "sample", "missing")
)

survey: A survey object.
missing_participant_age: if set to "mean" (default), people whose ages are given as a range (in columns named "..._est_min" and "..._est_max") but not exactly (in a column named "..._exact") will have their age set to the mid-point of the range; if set to "sample", the age will be sampled from the range; if set to "missing", age ranges will be treated as missing
missing_contact_age: if set to "mean" (default), contacts whose ages are given as a range (in columns named "..._est_min" and "..._est_max") but not exactly (in a column named "..._exact") will have their age set to the mid-point of the range; if set to "sample", the age will be sampled from the range; if set to "missing", age ranges will be treated as missing
