Statistics: ismissing

### Function Reference: `ismissing`

statistics: TF = ismissing (A)
statistics: TF = ismissing (A, indicator)

Find missing data in a numeric or string array.

Given an input numeric data array, char array, or array of cell strings A, `ismissing` returns a logical array TF with the same dimensions as A, where `true` values match missing values in the input data.

The optional input indicator is an array of values that represent missing values in the input data. The values which represent missing data by default depend on the data type of A:

- `NaN`: `single`, `double`.
- `' '` (white space): `char`.
- `{''}`: string cells.

Note: logical and numeric data types may be used in any combination for A and indicator. A and the indicator values will be compared as type double, and the output will have the same class as A. Data types other than those specified above have no defined ’missing’ value. As such, the TF output for those inputs will always be `false(size(A))`. The exception to this is that indicator can be specified for logical and numeric inputs to designate values that will register as ’missing’.
