Evaluating the imputers requires to generate holes that are representative of the holes at hand.

Suppose we have :math:`X_{obs}`, a subset of a complete data model :math:`X = (X_{obs}, X_{mis})`, which is not fully observable (:math:`X_{mis}` is the missing part).

We define the matrix :math:`M` such that :math:`M_{ij}=1` if :math:`X_{ij}` is missing, and 0 otherwise, and we assume distribution of :math:`M` is parametrised by :math:`\psi`.
