Description

In #348 I wrote about how the MICE algorithm performed best as a data imputation technique. But how does this work. Is it magic? Maybe. In this blog post I'll try to describe how the MICE algorithm works by combining the benefits of regression with good-ole-fashioned repetition.

Hey, did you know that repetition is the secret to learning? Also, repeating things helps you to remember stuff. Amazing, innit?
