Combine mimids and wimids Objects by Columns
This function combines a mimids or wimids object columnwise with additional datasets or variables. Typically these would be variables not included in the original imputation and therefore absent in the mimids or wimids object. with() can then be used on the output to run models with the added variables.
cbind(..., deparse.level = 1) ## S3 method for class 'mimids' cbind(..., deparse.level = 1) ## S3 method for class 'wimids' cbind(..., deparse.level = 1)
| ... | Objects to combine columnwise. The first should be a  | 
| deparse.level | Ignored. | 
An object with the same class as the first input object with the additional variables added to the components.
