Imputes univariate missing data using linear regression analysis (non Bayesian version)

This creates imputation using the spread around the fitted linear regression
line of y
given x
, as fitted on the observed data.
A vector of length nmis
with imputations.
The function does not incorporate the variability of the regression weights, so it is not 'proper' in the sense of Rubin. For small samples, variability of the imputed data is therefore underestimated.
This function is provided mainly to allow comparison between proper and improper norm methods. Also, it may be useful to impute large data containing many rows.
