Hi Jim,
I need to calculate the missing values in variable "patientinformation1" for
the period of May 2006 to March 2007 and then plot the graph of the
percentage of the missing values over these months.
This has to be done for each variable.
The code which you have provided, calculates the missing values for the
months variable, am I right?
I need to calculate for all the variables for each month.
Thanks,
Shreyasee
