Missing Values

PROC CAPABILITY and General Statements

Missing Values

If a variable for which statistics are calculated has a missing value, that value is ignored in the calculation of statistics, and the missing values are tabulated separately. A missing value for one such variable does not affect the treatment of other variables in the same observation.

If the WEIGHT variable has a missing value, the observation is excluded from the analysis^*. If the FREQ variable has a missing value, the observation is excluded from the analysis. If a variable in a BY or ID statement has a missing value, the procedure treats it as it would treat any other value of a BY or ID variable.
