Should data table be copied in all imputation function? #65

Closed mkao006 closed 10 years ago

mkao006 commented 10 years ago

Should the set of imputation functions operate on the original data or create a new copy of the data to be returned?

Up to you – as long as the format is correct the system will save either back to the database on request. Also – only values which are new or changed will be saved to the DB from a block submitted for save, so you don’t have to worry about unwanted updates ☺ N.

This was actually a question for myself, since I thought I was the only one that is watching this repository. Anyway, its more about how I will shape my package rather than how it will affect the usage of the API so don't worry too much about it.

single imputation function now return vectors rather than fill the original data.
