Missing Values. Controls the treatment of missing values.

  • Exclude cases listwise. Cases with missing values for any dependent or factor variable are excluded from all analyses. This is the default.
  • Exclude cases pairwise. Cases with no missing values for variables in a group (cell) are included in the analysis of that group. The case may have missing values for variables used in other groups.
  • Report values. Missing values for factor variables are treated as a separate category. All output is produced for this additional category. Frequency tables include categories for missing values. Missing values for a factor variable are included but labeled as missing.
