Description

 • Important: The stats package has been deprecated. Use the superseding package Statistics instead.
 • The function countmissing of the subpackage stats[describe, ...] counts the number of missing observations in data. It uses the weight of the items, as specified by Weight.
 • The command with(stats[describe],countmissing) allows the use of the abbreviated form of this command.

 > $\mathrm{with}\left(\mathrm{stats}\right):$

There is one missing piece of data

 > $\mathrm{data1}≔\left[\mathrm{Weight}\left(3,10\right),\mathrm{missing},4,\mathrm{Weight}\left(11..12,3\right)\right]$
 ${\mathrm{data1}}{:=}\left[{\mathrm{Weight}}{}\left({3}{,}{10}\right){,}{\mathrm{missing}}{,}{4}{,}{\mathrm{Weight}}{}\left({11}{..}{12}{,}{3}\right)\right]$ (1)
 > $\mathrm{describe}[\mathrm{countmissing}]\left(\mathrm{data1}\right)$
 ${1}$ (2)

There are 3 observations in the range 1<=x<10, 4 in the range 10<=x<20 and 5 missing observations.

 > $\mathrm{data2}≔\left[\mathrm{Weight}\left(1..10,3\right),\mathrm{Weight}\left(10..20,4\right),\mathrm{Weight}\left(\mathrm{missing},5\right)\right]$
 ${\mathrm{data2}}{:=}\left[{\mathrm{Weight}}{}\left({1}{..}{10}{,}{3}\right){,}{\mathrm{Weight}}{}\left({10}{..}{20}{,}{4}\right){,}{\mathrm{Weight}}{}\left({\mathrm{missing}}{,}{5}\right)\right]$ (3)
 > $\mathrm{Nmiss}≔\mathrm{describe}[\mathrm{countmissing}]\left(\mathrm{data2}\right)$
 ${\mathrm{Nmiss}}{:=}{5}$ (4)

Ratio of missing data to total data is

 > $\frac{\mathrm{Nmiss}}{\mathrm{describe}[\mathrm{count}]\left(\mathrm{data2}\right)+\mathrm{Nmiss}}$
 $\frac{{5}}{{12}}$ (5)
