is there a Julia version of this R package [Multivariate Imputation by Chained Equations • mice](https://amices.org/mice/) or another package that is usable for Chained imputation in Julia?

Have you checked [Impute.jl](https://github.com/invenia/Impute.jl) out?

Not the same method, but for imputation of continuous variables by means of GMM/EM algorithm there is also [predictMissing](https://sylvaticus.github.io/BetaML.jl/stable/Clustering.html#BetaML.Clustering.predictMissing) from BetaML.jl

I found a few, most Bayesian packages seem to have something call Hamiton Monte Carlo  
or MarkovChainMonteCarlo

There is [this](https://github.com/Hasnep/MICE.jl), but I’m not sure if it’s in active development anymore, nor how fully fleshed out it was.

I asked it a long time ago but there is nothing yet.

> I’ve found the package Impute.jl but it seems it’s only able to use these simple methods: drop - remove missing locf - last observation carried forward nocb - next observation carried backward interp - linear interpolation of values in vector fill - replace with a specific value or a function which returns a value given the existing vector with missing values dropped. How can I do multiple imputation when I have several variables or I want to use more complex methods, for example using: fully…
