LISREL FAQ #6: Reading missing data directly into LISREL

Question:

I am using LISREL to read my raw data directly instead of preprocessing it using PRELIS. I know that I can use the MISSING=99 option in PRELIS to tell PRELIS that 99's represent missing data points in my data file. Is there something similar I can use with LISREL?

Answer:

Yes. You can use the XM=99 option on the LISREL DA command line. If your missing value code is something other than 99, then you would replace the 99 value in the statement shown above with your missing data code.
