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
