MICE, though ignoring the non-linear features of the trajectory and within subject correlation, is able to provide reasonable imputation of foetal growth data when compared to LMM. Because it simultaneously imputes missing covariate data and does not require specification of variance structure as in LMM, MICE may be preferable for imputation in this setting.
