Missing data in multi-item questionnaires

Useful blog post (2022, last updated 2024) by Iris Eekhout showing how to update the predictor matrix and setup passive imputation using {mice} so that:

  1. Items are imputed using (a) other items within a questionnaire and (b) other questionnaires’ total scores.
  2. A total score is passively imputed on each run which becomes part of the MI process.
