MISSING VALUES

41
SPSS – Missing Values
Missing values
• Blank spaces in the data
• These are part of data. It is recommended not to amend them

Reasons for Missing Values


• Unrelated: Specify another option “other”
• Unanswered question: No option

• We can’t use “0” instead of missing value, it will effect the data
• At most a data may contain < 50% missing (for every
variable)

42
SPSS – Missing Values

• It is always suggested that your data should not have missing


values. However, in some cases specially in situation where we
use online data collection techniques there are some missing
values.

Best Practice
The best practice to deal with missing values is;
– Back Check (telephonic, physically)
– Remove the rows of missing values (collect data almost 10% more than
the required sample)
– Replace the missing value with mean value of the data
