R Topics Discussion > poisson multilevel model after imputation

Hi
I have carried out a multiple imputation in R using Amelia II and have created 5 multiply imputed datasets. The purpose of my research is to fit a Poisson Multilevel Model to the data to estimate numbers of hospital admissions.
Now that I have 5 completed datasets, how do I go about fitting the multilevel model? How do I pool all the 5 datasets to get one final multilevel/mixed model?

Can anyone PLEASE guide me?!

Many thanks and regards...

Hi Swarna! First, congrats on coming as far as you have with R and Amelia (and for taking-on an ambitious analysis)! To complete the analysis, I think I'd use the Zelig package, which I believe does poisson and I know integrates well with MI datasets. Here is the link to the Zelig page:
