MISSING Subcommand (RBF command)

The MISSING subcommand is used to control whether user-missing values for categorical variables; that is, factors and categorical dependent variables, are treated as valid values.

• By default, user-missing values for categorical variables are treated as invalid.
• User-missing values for scale variables are always treated as invalid. System-missing values for any variables are always treated as invalid.

USERMISSING = EXCLUDE. User-missing values for categorical variables are treated as invalid. This is the default.

USERMISSING = INCLUDE. User-missing values for categorical variables are treated as valid values.
