'Mica' is a server application used to create data web portals for 
    large-scale epidemiological studies or multiple-study consortia. 'Mica' helps
    studies to provide scientifically robust data visibility and web presence 
    without significant information technology effort. 'Mica' provides a 
    structured description of consortia, studies, annotated and searchable data
    dictionaries, and data access request management. This 'Mica' client allows
    to perform data extraction for reporting purposes.

Modified functions of the package 'pcalg' and some additional functions
            to run the PC and the FCI (Fast Causal Inference) algorithm for constraint-based 
            causal discovery in incomplete and multiply imputed datasets.

Multiple imputation using Fully Conditional Specification (FCS)
    implemented by the MICE algorithm as described in Van Buuren and
    Groothuis-Oudshoorn (2011) <doi:10.18637/jss.v045.i03>. Each variable has
    its own imputation model. Built-in imputation models are provided for
    continuous data (predictive mean matching, normal), binary data (logistic
    regression), unordered categorical data (polytomous logistic regression)
    and ordered categorical data (proportional odds). MICE can also impute
    continuous two-level data (normal model, pan, second-level variables).
    Passive imputation can be used to maintain consistency between variables.
    Various diagnostic plots are available to inspect the quality of the
    imputations.

Contains functions for multiple imputation which
    complements existing functionality in R.
    In particular, several imputation methods for the
    mice package (van Buuren & Groothuis-Oudshoorn, 2011,
    <doi:10.18637/jss.v045.i03>) are implemented.
    Main features of the miceadds package include
    plausible value imputation (Mislevy, 1991,
    <doi:10.1007/BF02294457>), multilevel imputation for
    variables at any level or with any number of hierarchical
    and non-hierarchical levels (Grund, Luedtke & Robitzsch,
    2018, <doi:10.1177/1094428117703686>; van Buuren, 2018, 
    Ch.7, <doi:10.1201/9780429492259>), imputation using 
    partial least squares (PLS) for high dimensional 
    predictors (Robitzsch, Pham & Yanagida, 2016), 
    nested multiple imputation (Rubin, 2003, 
    <doi:10.1111/1467-9574.00217>), substantive model
    compatible imputation (Bartlett et al., 2015,
    <doi:10.1177/0962280214521348>), and features
    for the generation of synthetic datasets
    (Reiter, 2005, <doi:10.1111/j.1467-985X.2004.00343.x>;
    Nowok, Raab, & Dibben, 2016, <doi:10.18637/jss.v074.i11>).
