That value may be temporarily hidden with a mask, may have been lost due to hard drive corruption, or gone for any number of reasons. For sums and products this means to produce NA if any of the inputs - are NA. This is the same as NA in the R project. + are NA. This is the same as NA in the R project. -IGNORE (Skip/Ignore) +IGNORE (Ignore/Skip) A placeholder which should be treated by computations as if no value does or could exist there. For sums, this means act as if the value were zero, and for products, this means act as if the value were one. |
