I was googling around for some information and found Amelia (Honaker et al., 2010) and the mi package (Yu-Sung et al., n.d.). However, since I am new to this field, I was wondering whether some experts could give a good recommendation of a starting point for me, that is a point that combines theory as well as practical examples. Of course, My primary interest is to complete the task in time (1 week), however, I want to acquire skills for a program that provides some future, and of course I want some background on what I am doing (and what not). Could you help with some hints, experiences, and recommendations?
