I see now Zelig 4.20 is in beta. Does it handle results based on multiply
imputed data correctly? That is, does it output the combined results (as in
Zelig 3) instead of a set of individual results (as in early version of
Zelig 4)?

Shige,
One of the priorities of 4.2 is to handle all issues with missing data correctly. These
include [1] combining results by Rubin's rules when summarizing the model result [2]
creating graphs of quantities of interest by drawing from each imputed dataset [3]
handling missing values in setx() [4] not interfering with the Amelia namespace, and
integrating correctly with ameliabind(), mi.meld(). The current posted Beta of 4.2
handles issues 1&2, and will address 3&4 shortly. These are all issues that have
been brought up on the list repeatedly, and while it's very useful in my present
position to be able to read through the examples the list has provided, I'm sure it
is frustrating that these issues have been present for several months. (Going over the
list, as I have been working on this the last several weeks, I've found your bug
reports, Shige, very useful. If I don't close all of the threads you have started,
directly, it's because I don't want to overwhelm the list with a flurry of issue
resolved reports, rather than because they are ignored.)
Thanks,
James.
