Given an estimated model from any of mirt's model fitting functions and an estimate of the
latent trait, impute plausible missing data values. Returns the original data in a
data.frame without any NA values. If a list of Theta values is supplied then a
list of complete datasets is returned instead.
Arguments
- x
an estimated model x from the mirt package
- Theta
a matrix containing the estimates of the latent trait scores (e.g., via
fscores)- warn
logical; print warning messages?
- ...
additional arguments to pass
