Description: Multiple imputation using Fully Conditional Specification
        (FCS) implemented by the MICE algorithm as described in Van
        Buuren and Groothuis-Oudshoorn (2011)
        <doi:10.18637/jss.v045.i03>. Each variable has its own
        imputation model. Built-in imputation models are provided for
        continuous data (predictive mean matching, normal), binary data
        (logistic regression), unordered categorical data (polytomous
        logistic regression) and ordered categorical data (proportional
        odds). MICE can also impute continuous two-level data (normal
        model, pan, second-level variables). Passive imputation can be
        used to maintain consistency between variables. Various
        diagnostic plots are available to inspect the quality of the
        imputations.
