\name{mice.impute.mean}
\alias{mice.impute.mean}
\title{Imputation by the mean}
\usage{
mice.impute.mean(y, ry, x = NULL, wy = NULL, ...)
}
\arguments{
\item{y}{Vector to be imputed}
\item{ry}{Logical vector of length \code{length(y)} indicating the
the subset \code{y[ry]} of elements in \code{y} to which the imputation
model is fitted. The \code{ry} generally distinguishes the observed
(\code{TRUE}) and missing values (\code{FALSE}) in \code{y}.}
\item{x}{Numeric design matrix with \code{length(y)} rows with predictors for
\code{y}. Matrix \code{x} may have no missing values.}
\item{wy}{Logical vector of length \code{length(y)}. A \code{TRUE} value
indicates locations in \code{y} for which imputations are created.}
\item{...}{Other named arguments.}
}
\value{
Vector with imputed data, same type as \code{y}, and of length
\code{sum(wy)}
}
\description{
Imputes the arithmetic mean of the observed data
}
\section{Warning}{
Imputing the mean of a variable is almost never
appropriate. See Little and Rubin (2002, p. 61-62) or
Van Buuren (2012, p. 10-11)
