MISSING Subcommand (SIMPLAN command)
The MISSING
subcommand specifies how missing values
are handled. Cases with invalid values for any input are excluded
from the following analyses: distribution fitting; computation of
correlations; and computation of the contingency table, if requested.
System missing values are always invalid. User-missing values are
invalid except for inputs that are fit to a categorical distribution
when CLASSMISSING=INCLUDE
.
The CLASSMISSING
keyword specifies whether user-missing
values of inputs that are fit to a categorical distribution are treated
as valid.
- EXCLUDE
- Exclude user-missing values. Treat user-missing values for these inputs as invalid data. This setting is the default.
- INCLUDE
- Include user-missing values. Treat user-missing values for these inputs as valid data
