The MDS Procedure

Missing Values

Missing data in the similarity or dissimilarity matrices are ignored in fitting the model and are omitted from the OUTRES= data set. Any matrix that is completely missing is omitted from the analysis.

Missing weights are treated as 0.

Missing values are also allowed in the INITIAL= data set, but a large number of missing values may yield a degenerate initial configuration.
