You can consider the multiple imputation suite but I'll just throw out
the disclosure that learning MI is not a simple undertaking. I've done
probably a half dozen substantial missing data analyses and none of
them have ever gone smoothly. You need to know quite a bit of theory
and still make many judgment calls.
I would start by looking at the MI manual, which has some nice
discussion, and working the examples. Also download the -midiagplots-
diagnostic suite. There are some other "how to do" MI papers around,
too.
