We explore the problem of obtaining proper imputations in some detail and distinguish two main classes of approach, methods based on fully multivariate models, and those that iterate conditional univariate models. We show how the use of so-called uncongenial imputation models are particularly valuable for sensitivity analyses and also for certain analyses in clinical trial settings. We also touch upon other forms of sensitivity analysis that use multiple imputation. Finally, we give some open questions that the increasing use of multiple imputation has thrown up, which we believe are useful directions for future research.
