EXAMINE 527<br />

PAIRWISE Delete cases with missing values pairwise. A case is deleted from the analysis<br />

only if it has a missing value for the dependent variable or factor being<br />

analyzed.<br />

EXCLUDE Exclude user-missing values. User-missing values and system-missing values<br />

for dependent variables are excluded. This is the default.<br />

INCLUDE Include user-missing values. Only system-missing values for dependent<br />

variables are excluded from the analysis.<br />

NOREPORT Exclude user- and system-missing values for factor variables. This is the<br />

default.<br />

REPORT Include user- and system-missing values for factor variables. User- and system-missing<br />

values for factors are treated as valid categories and are labeled<br />

as missing.<br />

Example<br />

EXAMINE VARIABLES=RAINFALL MEANTEMP BY REGION.<br />

• MISSING is not specified and the default is used. Any case with a user- or system-missing<br />

value for RAINFALL, MEANTEMP, or REGION is excluded from the analysis and display.<br />

Example<br />

EXAMINE VARIABLES=RAINFALL MEANTEMP BY REGION<br />

/MISSING=PAIRWISE.<br />

• Only cases with missing values for RAINFALL are excluded from the analysis of RAINFALL,<br />

and only cases with missing values for MEANTEMP are excluded from the analysis of<br />

MEANTEMP. Missing values for REGION are not used.<br />

Example<br />

EXAMINE VARIABLES=RAINFALL MEANTEMP BY REGION<br />

/MISSING=REPORT.<br />

• Missing values for REGION are considered valid categories and are labeled as missing.<br />
