Multiple Imputation (MI) for missing data can be carried out using the ice and mim commands in STATA (version 9.2 onwards). The results from the MI can then be compared with the results before MI is applied. However, the ice and mim commands in STATA cannot be carried out in conjunction with the STATA svyset commands (the svyset commands adjust the analyses to take account of the complex survey design). As the HSE has a complex survey design it is important that you use the svyset commands for analyses; using the svyset commands might have a larger effect upon the results of analyses than using the ice and mim commands.
