Unfortunately, the fact that -mim- can't do this is not a
programming problem, but a statistical problem: Multiple
Imputation is all about inference on the level of single
parameters in isolation, it doesn't work easily with
statistics on the model level like R2 or tests of
multiple paramters together. Some work has been done in
this area, but my impression is that this literature
has not yet fully matured. If you still want to do
something like -hireg- you could try to estimate the
separate models and compare them using the methods
discussed in this presentation by Rose Medeiros given
at the last North American Stata Users' Group meeting:
