SICOMPLETE= simulate complete data = Yes

Data simulated with SIFILE= . See simulated data file. When simulating a data file SIFILE= the missing-data pattern in the originating data may be copied or ignored.

SICOMPLETE = Yes

generate a complete rectangular data set from the generating values.

SICOMPLETE = No

generate a rectangular data set with missing values where the originating data set has missing values. This has no effect if the originating data set is complete, without missing responses.

Example: For a CAT dataset, we want to simulate responses only where ressponses were made:

SICOMPLETE = No
