\arguments{
\item{x}{a data frame or matrix.}
}
\value{
\item{groups }{List of the different patterns and the observation
numbers for each pattern} \item{cn }{the names of the patterns coded as
vectors of 0-1's} \item{tabcomb}{the pattern structure - all combinations of
zeros or missings in the variables} \item{tabcombPlus}{the pattern structure
- all combinations of zeros or missings in the variables including the size
of those combinations/patterns, i.e. the number of observations that belongs
to each pattern.} \item{rsum}{the number of zeros or missing values in each

row of the data set}

\description{
Analysis of the missing or the zero patterns structure of a data set.
}
\details{
Here, one pattern defines those observations that have the same structure
regarding their missingness or zeros. For all patterns a summary is
calculated.

\examples{
data(expenditures)
## set NA's artificial:
expenditures[expenditures < 300] <- NA
## detect the NA structure:
missPatterns(expenditures)
