CHAPTER 17A dependent variable that is censored, categorical, or count is treated asa continuous covariate in the logistic regressions.MODEL MISSING:The MODEL MISSING command is used to provide information aboutthe population parameter values for the missing data model to be used inthe generation of data for single group analysis and the overall analysismodel for multiple group analysis.MODEL MISSING-label:MODEL MISSING followed by a dash and a label is used in multiplegroup analysis to provide group-specific population parameter values forthe missing data model to be used in the generation of data. The labelfollowing the dash refers to the group. The first group is referred to byg1, the second group by g2, and so on. Each parameter in the modelmust be specified followed by the @ symbol or the asterisk (*) and thepopulation parameter value. Any model parameter not specified willhave the value of zero as the population parameter value.MODEL MISSING:%OVERALL%%class label%MODEL MISSING used in conjunction with %OVERALL% and %classlabel% is used to provide the population parameter values for themissing data model to be used in the generation of data for mixturemodels. Statements following %OVERALL% refer to the modelcommon to all latent classes. Statements following %class label% referto class-specific model statements. Each parameter in both the modelcommon to all latent classes and in the class-specific model must bespecified followed by the @ symbol or the asterisk (*) and thepopulation parameter value. Any model parameter not specified willhave the value of zero as the population parameter value.Class labels are created by adding to the name of the categorical latentvariable a number sign followed by the class number. For example, if c1630
