thanks Marten,

you are right for the example, of course. 

However, my real mim: probit includes variables with several missing values -, could there be any other cause you can think of?!

There are no missing values in any of the variables you used in your
-probit- model. So there is no between imputation variance in the
coefficients and -mim- seems to choke on that.

Hope this helps,
