Data Correction and Imputation Using Deductive Methods
Overview
Attempt to repair inconsistencies and missing values in data records by using information from valid values and validation rules restricting the data.
- fixed issue where in some cases rule-violating imputations were done (GH issue #5)
- fixed Rd bug (thanks to Kurt Hornik for pointing out the changes)
- impute_lr now passes 'eps' argument to lintools::subst_value. This resolves creation of numerically infeasible systems of linear equations in certain cases where a small substitution value (e.g. 1E-12) is multiplied with a large coefficient (e.g. 1E5).
