In amices/mice: Multivariate Imputation by Chained Equations

knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = TRUE)

Release summary

This is the resubmission of mice version 3.17.0. The previous submission was rejected due a problem with the downstream autoReg and finalfit packages. The problem was a change in the reporting of the confidence intervals. In the previous version confidence intervals were named 2.5 % and 97.5 %, a convention inherited from stats::confint.default. The update mice 3.17.0 adopts the more flexible broom convention of naming these boundaries conf.low and conf.high, so that these names work for any probability level. This change caused the two downstream packages to fail. The issue has been fixed in this version of mice by duplicating the two conf columns, and naming them 2.5 % and 97.5 %. I will alert the maintainers of the autoReg and finalfit packages to this change, but for now, having the duplicate columns fixes the problem.

This release of mice adds new features, bug fixes, and documentation improvements. See https://github.com/amices/mice/blob/master/NEWS.md
