🎉 New Feature: Store, Tweak & Reuse Imputation Models in mice 🎉

We're happy to announce a new, much simpler method for storing, tweaking, and reusing imputation models — a long-requested feature (see #32).

🔍 What does it do?

The new method stores all parameter estimates needed during training and reuses them when imputing new data. This allows for:

• Easy reuse of trained imputation models
• The ability to inspect and tweak model internals
• Consistency across imputed datasets

🧪 Try it out

This feature is currently experimental and available on the imputation_models feature branch.

We’d love your feedback!
Feel free to try it out and suggest improvements, report bugs, or share your use cases.
