st: Multiple-imputation estimates and log-likelihood

Hi all,
The -mim-command which performs multiple-imputation estimates across
imputed observations does not produce the typical test-statistics
(log-likelihood ratio etc). Perhaps, the reason is that averaging doe
snot make sense across these statistics.
This seem a bit strange, given the extent that research on imputation
has developed in the past 20 years.
Is this a methodological issue or a computation issue? Any solution. I
do need the typical test statistics.
If so, then would it make sense to use the first imputation (let's say
m=5) and run the model on that. How bad this approach is? How biased
the results would be?
Thanks,
James
