[R-sig-ME] Making sure something is kosher

[Paul Johnson]

I think you mean to ask, how does one pool bootstrapped confidence
intervals constructed from 20 imputations? Same question about variance
estimates, or ICC. Appears now, each of those is a separate battle.
Similarly, any anova() test done separately. Rubin's rules great for MLEs.
Not so much for all that other stuff that we do.

VanBuren worked out the R^2 and some papers exist on model chisquare.
if you find one on CI, let me know. I'm wondering if you could simply
aggregate runs and build a CI. if not, appears you need better math stat
training than I have.

One project here explored that. If you are in the "I need 100 imputations"
crew and you want 5000 bootstraps, well... get a cluster. I'll ask that
team what they know.
