  TITLE: this is an example of multiple imputation for a set of
  variables with missing values
  DATA: FILE = ex11.5.dat;
  VARIABLE: ! the following are all the variables in the data
  ! set:
  NAMES = x1 x2 y1-y4 v1-v50 z1-z5;
  ! the following variables will be used to create the
  ! imputed data sets:

  ! the following variables are saved with the imputed
  ! data sets, but not used to create the imputed data
  ! sets:
