Non-zero target weights and zero cases
It is incorrect to specify a non-zero target weight for a cell that has no cases. When Quantum encounters this error, it stops the run with a message of the form:
Error: Weight matrix 5, cell 3: target 5.000 given, no cases found
For details, see the Quantum weighting report file (weightrp)
If the nowmerrors keyword is in force, the same message is issued except that the word ‘Error’ is replaced by the word ‘Warning’ and the run continues.
