תקציר	Metropolis-Hastings with missing data treats unobserved values as latent variables and samples them jointly with model parameters inside a single MCMC chain. By augmenting the target distribution to include both parameters and missing values, the algorithm yields properly calibrated posterior inference without discarding incomplete cases or requiring a separate imputation step.	Multiple Imputation (MI), formally introduced by Donald B. Rubin in 1987, is a principled statistical procedure for handling missing data. Rather than replacing each missing value once, MI fills the gaps m times — each time drawing plausible values from the posterior predictive distribution of the missing data — producing m complete datasets. Each dataset is analysed independently, and the results are combined into a single set of estimates using Rubin's pooling rules. The MICE variant (Multivariate Imputation by Chained Equations), popularised by van Buuren and Groothuis-Oudshoorn (2011), extends the approach to mixed variable types by imputing each variable in turn through a sequence of conditional regression models.
