MISSING Subcommand (RATIO STATISTICS command)

MISSING specifies the way to handle cases with user-missing values.

  • A case is never used if it contains system-missing values in the numerator and/or the denominator variables.
  • If this subcommand is not specified, the default is EXCLUDE.
  • Keywords EXCLUDE and INCLUDE are mutually exclusive. Only one of them can be specified once.

EXCLUDE. Exclude both user-missing and system-missing values. This is the default.

INCLUDE. User-missing values are treated as valid. System-missing values cannot be included in the analysis.
