Hi all,
Is there a way to only replace certain missing values with the mean of a sample using proc standard? The data I am working with have 3 different types of missing values:
Missing Value Code | Description |
.s | Not applicable, including legitimate skips |
.m | Item nonresponse (i.e. refused, don’t know, not ascertained) |
. | System missing, including unit nonresponse |
I only want to replace missing values that indicate item nonresponse (.m) with the mean of the sample, but I am not sure how to go about it.
Thanks in advance,
Stephanie
Quick and dirty:
Create a flag that has values S M and N to match the missing values
Pass through Proc Standard
Use the S and N flag to restore the correct missing values

Thank you for your response, Richard! My mind was drawing a blank on how to do this.
