17. Perform a multiple imputation using m=25 and 42 for the seed. Note that it might take this longer to run because there are many variables and observations in this dataset. Use all the variables in the dataset in the imputation model.
18. Check diagnostics for a) convergence and b) plausibility of the imputed values. What is your assessment of the diagnostics? Do you see any problems?
