HANDLEMISSING Subcommand (DETECTANOMALY command)

The HANDLEMISSING subcommand specifies the methods of handling missing values in this procedure.

APPLY=optionvalue. Apply missing value handling. Valid option values are YES or NO. If YES, the missing values of continuous variables are substituted by their corresponding grand means, and missing categories of categorical variables are grouped and treated as a valid category. The processed variables are used in the analysis. If NO, cases with missing values are excluded from the analysis. The default value is NO.

CREATEMISPROPVAR=optionvalue. Create an additional Missing Proportion Variable and use it in the analysis. Valid option values are YES or NO. If YES, an additional variable called the Missing Proportion Variable that represents the proportion of missing variables in each case is created, and this variable is used in the analysis. If NO, the Missing Proportion Variable is not created. The default value is NO.
