st: mean, mode or median for missing values

[Jet <lsj555@gmail.com>]

Hi, all,

     My variable is measured by likert scales, and there are a few
missing values. I am thinking of using mean, mode or median to
substitute the missing values. Which is better given the ordinal
nature of the measurement?
