Common number values for NA

This vector contains common number values of NA (missing), which is aimed to be used inside naniar functions miss_scan_count() and replace_with_na(). The current list of numbers can be found by printing out common_na_numbers. It is a useful way to explore your data for possible missings, but I strongly warn against using this to replace NA values without very carefully looking at the incidence for each of the cases. Common NA strings are in the data object common_na_strings.

common_na_numbers

Format

An object of class numeric of length 8.
