  • Cells with censored data

    Hi everyone!

    I have a dataset with one continuous variable with some "left-censored" cells. First 10 cells: 9.34, 11.7, 11.3, <6.9, <6.9, 7.18, 7.94, 9.7, 9.38, 11.86. Censoring occurs due to lower limit of detection capability of blood test.
    I don't need to use this variable as a dependent one. What are the general principles of management of such values? To what values do I have to change 2 cells with "<6.9" to be able to change from string variable and not losing the information by replacing the "<6.9" with missing value?

    Thank you.

    Ivan:
    sorry, wrong forum.
    Please, repost your query on the General forum, as this one is for practicing purposes only.
    That said:
    - please read the FAQ on how to post (more) efficiently, as you do not state what you're going to do with your data. Thanks.
    Kind regards,
