Complex Samples Missing Values

Tables. This group determines which cases are used in the analysis.

  • Use all available data. Missing values are determined on a table-by-table basis. Thus, the cases used to compute statistics may vary across frequency or crosstabulation tables.
  • Use consistent case base. Missing values are determined across all variables. Thus, the cases used to compute statistics are consistent across tables.

Categorical Design Variables. This group determines whether user-missing values are valid or invalid.

To Specify Missing Values Settings for Complex Samples Procedures

This feature requires the Complex Samples option.

  1. From the menus choose:

    Analyze > Complex Samples > Frequencies...

    ...or Crosstabs.

  2. Select a plan file. Optionally, select a custom joint probabilities file.
  3. Click Continue.
  4. In the Complex Samples dialog box, select Missing Values.
  5. Select the missing values settings that you want.
