ID Subcommand (MVA command)

The ID subcommand specifies a variable to label cases. These labels appear in the pattern tables. Without this subcommand, the case numbers are used.

Example

MVA VARIABLES=populatn density urban religion lifeexpf region
  /CATEGORICAL=region
  /MAXCAT=20
  /ID=country
  /MPATTERN.

• The values of the variable country are used as case labels.
• Missing data patterns are shown for those cases that have at least one missing value in the specified variables.
