Create imputed datasets

This is the work horse function that implements most of the functionality of impute. See the user level function impute() for further details.

impute_internal(
  draws,
  references = NULL,
  update_strategy,
  strategies,
  condmean
)

`draws`	A `draws` object created by `draws()`.
`references`	A named vector. Identifies the references to be used for reference-based imputation methods. Should be of the form `c("Group1" = "Reference1", "Group2" = "Reference2")`. If `NULL` (default), the references are assumed to be of the form `c("Group1" = "Group1", "Group2" = "Group2")`. This argument cannot be `NULL` if an imputation strategy (as defined by `data_ice[[vars$strategy]]` in the call to draws) other than `MAR` is set.
`update_strategy`	An optional `data.frame`. Updates the imputation method that was originally set via the `data_ice` option in `draws()`. See the details section for more information.
`strategies`	A named list of functions. Defines the imputation functions to be used. The names of the list should mirror the values specified in `strategy` column of `data_ice`. Default = `getStrategies()`. See `getStrategies()` for more details.
`condmean`	logical. If TRUE will impute using the conditional mean values, if values will impute by taking a random draw from the multivariate normal distribution.
