Hi every body, Yes, a missing value is a missing value and has no sense to convert it into 0. Option 2. Greetings Pedro Pedro Arias Bohigas John Ericssons gatan, 12 5 tr 112 22 Stockholm Sweden Phone (cell) 0734421130 Phone (international calls)+46734421130

How should EpiData Analysis read a CSV (Comma Separated File)

by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca

A question has come up. Please consider how you find reading of a CSV file in analysis appropriate: In a csv file the following data is found: id, s, pos, sex, ill 1,.,.,f,0 2...... etc (rest of records) The data in line can be interpreted in two ways: Option 1: ID= 1 s= 0.0 pos=0.0 SEX = "f" ill = 0 Option 2: ID= 1 s= . pos=. SEX = "f" ill = 0 In other words the question is how to read ",.," should it be: Option 1: as 0.0 (which is current behaviour) or Option 2: . Any comments on desired behaviour appreciated. regards Jens Lauritsen EpiData Association
