#' \pkg{mice}: Multivariate Imputation by Chained Equations
#'
#' The \pkg{mice} package implements a method to deal with missing data.
#' The package creates multiple imputations (replacement values) for
#' multivariate missing data. The method is based on Fully Conditional
#' Specification, where each incomplete variable is imputed by a separate
#' model. The MICE algorithm can impute mixes of continuous, binary,
#' unordered categorical and ordered categorical data. In addition, MICE
#' can impute continuous two-level data, and maintain consistency between
#' imputations by means of passive imputation. Many diagnostic plots are
#' implemented to inspect the quality of the imputations.
#'
#' The \pkg{mice} package contains functions to
#' \itemize{
#' \item Inspect the missing data pattern
#' \item Impute the missing data \emph{m} times, resulting in \emph{m} completed data sets
#' \item Diagnose the quality of the imputed values
#' \item Analyze each completed data set
#' \item Pool the results of the repeated analyses
#' \item Store and export the imputed data in various formats
#' \item Generate simulated incomplete data
#' \item Incorporate custom imputation methods
#' }

#' The main functions are:
#' \tabular{ll}{
#' \code{mice()} \tab Impute the missing data *m* times\cr
#' \code{with()} \tab Analyze completed data sets\cr
#' \code{pool()} \tab Combine parameter estimates\cr
#' \code{complete()} \tab Export imputed data\cr
#' \code{ampute()} \tab Generate missing data\cr}

#' @section Vignettes:
#'
#' There is a detailed series of
#' six online vignettes that walk you through solving realistic inference
#' problems with mice.

#' @section Methodology:
#'
#' The \pkg{mice} software was published in the {Journal of Statistical Software} (Van Buuren and Groothuis-Oudshoorn, 2011). \doi{10.18637/jss.v045.i03}
#' The first application of the method
#' concerned missing blood pressure data (Van Buuren et. al., 1999).
#' The term \emph{Fully Conditional Specification} was introduced in 2006 to describe a general class of methods that specify imputations model for multivariate data as a set of conditional distributions (Van Buuren et. al., 2006). Further details on mixes of variables and applications can be found in the book
#' \href{https://stefvanbuuren.name/fimd/}{\emph{Flexible Imputation of Missing Data. Second Edition.}}

#'
#' @section Enhanced linear algebra:
#'
#' Updating the BLAS can improve speed of R, sometime considerably. The details
#' depend on the operating system. See the discussion in the
#' "R Installation and Administration" guide for further information.
