Dear Jonck,

In addition, there are ports of both norm and mix in the contributed-packages section of CRAN.

Regards,
 John

Look at the aregImpute function in the Hmisc package (http://hesweb1.med.virginia.edu/biostat/s/Hmisc.html). aregImpute uses the bootstrap, predictive mean matching, and flexible additive regression models to do multiple imputation. In one simulation study it performs as well as MICE but it runs much faster and does not assume linearity in the imputation models. I hope that someday we'll have simulation studies comparing aregImpute with NORM.
