Example 32
Normally, the next step would be to use the 10 completed datasets in transplant-
b_C.sav as input to some other program that cannot accept censored data. You would
use that other program to perform 10 separate analyses, using each one of the 10
completed datasets in turn. Then you would do further computations to combine the
results of those 10 separate analyses into a single set of results, as was done in Example
31. Those steps will not be carried out here.
General Inequality Constraints on Data Values
This example employed only inequality constraints like >1799. Here are some other
examples of string values that can be used in a data file to place inequality constraints
on the value of an underlying numeric variable:
The string value < 5 means that the underlying numeric value is less than 5.
The string value 4<<5 means that the underlying numeric value is between 4 and 5.
