Bug Description

When using SPLIT with the zScores function,
if the SPLIT variable contains missing values, the function is not computed.

I have Data with Statistics scores and sex variable with some missing values.
In the function :
(zScores(Statistics) %|% sex)
I receive the following message: "NAs are not allowed in subscripted assignments", and the resulting variable consists entirely of missing values.

Expected Behaviour

One of two options:

  1. The Z-scores will be calculated separately for sex = 1 and sex = 2, while subjects with missing sex will receive a missing value.

  2. The Z-scores will be calculated for sex = 1 and sex = 2, while subjects with missing sex will receive a Z-score relative to the "missing sex" group.

Steps to Reproduce

create a new computed zScore function variable with split, where the split variable has missing values :
(Var2 has a missing value)
(zScores(Var1) %|% Var2)

Log (if any)
