Abstract.  We present an update of mim, a program for managing multiply imputed datasets and performing inference (estimating parameters) using Rubin’s rules for combining estimates from imputed datasets. The new features of particular importance are an option for estimating the Monte Carlo error (due to the sampling variability of the imputation process) in parameter estimates and in related quantities, and a general routine for combining any scalar estimate across imputations.
