How Many Imputations Do You Need? {howManyImputations}

“When performing multiple imputations, while 5-10 imputations are sufficient for obtaining point estimates, a larger number of imputations are needed for proper standard error estimates. This package allows you to calculate how many imputations are needed, following the work of von Hippel (2020).”

Useful example here.
