MISSING Subcommand (NPAR TESTS command)

MISSING controls the treatment of cases with missing values.

• ANALYSIS and LISTWISE are alternatives. However, each of those commands can be specified with INCLUDE.

ANALYSIS. Exclude cases with missing values on a test-by-test basis. Cases with missing values for a variable that is used for a specific test are omitted from that test. On subcommands that specify several tests, each test is evaluated separately. This setting is the default.

LISTWISE. Exclude cases with missing values listwise. Cases with missing values for any variable that is named on any subcommand are excluded from all analyses.

INCLUDE. Include user-missing values. User-missing values are treated as valid values.
