Hi,
I have a very large data set with about 2000 variables. Periodically I
want to examine which variables have missing values on the fewest number
of cases. I use sum or fsum but this requires lisitng all of the
variables. Suppose, for a data set of 101 cases, I wish to find out
which variables have 80 or more cases. I would like something like:
sum if (number of cases) >= 80
I know that nmissing can do this, but it too lists all of the
variables. And the number of variables is too large to create a new
variable for the number of missing (or nonmissing) cases for each
variable. Any suggestions? Many thanks.
