Dear All,              

I am conducting factor analysis with missing data and would like to treat missing data as MAR (missing at random). I have a question how SPSS procedure FACTOR handles missing data in the subcommand « missing INCLUDE » .  It is based on assumption MAR? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your help.

 

Regards,

Placide
