The Count function computes the size of the data sample X. If weights are provided, the Count function computes the cumulative weight of all observations in X. Missing values can be ignored (see option ignore).

The CountMissing function counts missing values in the data sample X. If weights are provided, the CountMissing function computes the cumulative weight of all missing elements in X.

The first parameter X is a data sample which can be given as an Array, Vector, or a list. Alternatively, both Count and CountMissing understand Matrix data sets: if X is a Matrix, a 2-dimensional Array, or a list of lists, then the returned result is a row Vector containing the results of each column. If the weights option is supplied with a Matrix data set, then the weights are interpreted as applying per row of the data.

All data provided must have type/realcons. If the weights option is provided or if X is a Matrix data set, then the result(s) are provided as floating-point, even if the problem is specified with exact values.

The options argument can contain one or more of the options shown be low.

ignore=truefalse -- This option controls how missing data is handled by the Count command. By default (ignore = false) all missing values are accounted for in the final result. If ignore is set to false all missing values will be ignored.

weights=Vector -- Data weights. The number of elements in the weights Vector must be equal to the number of elements in the original data sample. By default all elements in X are assigned weight .

The X parameter was updated in Maple 16.
