jamovi

How do I use Jamovi to determine whether missing data is mcar? Is there a Little's mcar test somewhere?

hi,

i don't know what mcar is, and i don't think jamovi provides it - but if you figure out how to do it in R, you'll be able to run it in jamovi with the Rj editor.

Hi Jonathon and Devecct,
I think this would be a great addition to JAMOVI. Presently, we have to do all data cleaning and screening in R, then export into JAMOVI. While it is possible to do tests just as Mahalanobis (multi-variate outliers) using the work around in Rj and the psych package, there is no package in the JAMOVI database that can test for missing at random (MCAR), or engage in imputation or regression substitution.

Potentially having a module that tested the nature of missing data (MCAR) and imputation as needed would work well, alternatively, if you could introduce another package such as MissMech to the JAMOVI r library then the Rj solution would work.

what if you use 'system R', from Rj, rather than the R bundled with jamovi?

I have tried it and from what I can gather online, in order to carry the MCAR test, R requires the installation of the naniar library, which we don't have access to through Jamovi. Is there a way to access that? So far there seems to be no way of doing MCAR
