Description
My case is some roll call data where the members of parliament can be away (in a non-meaningful way) or just be on their seat temporarily, so that it is encoded as a missing value. However, I get errors due to missing data. Since the Jaccard metric itself is agnostic to the amount of available information, is there any way to handle this?

Research direction
The issue names the Jaccard metric and missing roll-call values but no source file or test. First reproduce the missing-data error and inspect the metric entry point; before implementation, establish the intended missing-value semantics, then add coverage showing the agreed behavior.
