Is there a way to do SMCFCS using proc MI in SAS?

I'd like to try Barlett's approach to multiple imputation using SMC-FCS (Substantive Model Compatible with Fully Conditional Specification). This exists as a package in R, but I have most of my data management work already done in SAS. Is there a way to do this within proc MI/MIANALYZE?

I don't have a dataset to share because I'm just looking for high-level direction at this point. Bartlett article is here for those who are unfamiliar:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24525487/

Also, the R package smcfcs documentation is here:

https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/smcfcs/vignettes/smcfcs-vignette.html

Thank you!

Hello,

I guess you already know that the MI Procedure has a FCS statement.

The FCS statement specifies a multivariate imputation by fully conditional specification methods.

I cannot see the

SMC-FCS (Substantive Model Compatible with Fully Conditional Specification)

however.

If you cannot find a paper or a macro with SMC-FCS in SAS, I am afraid it is not available (unless you code it up yourself).

Good luck,

Koen

Ok thank you. That's too bad. Coding it up myself is a bit daunting -- easier for me to just move my project to R.
