I would be very interested to hear ideas about computing
combined summary statistics (R-square, ROC area, etc.) and
whether there is any hope of getting a combined 
imputation-adjusted likelihood ratio test.  Also,
has anyone seen a reference where model diagnostics
are developed in the multiple imputation framework?
For example, would it be a good idea to make 5
partial residual plots for 5 completed datasets,
and is there a reasonable way to combine these?
