When does this apply?

For computing every pairwise association among two or more quantitative variables at once. There is no omnibus test — each cell carries its own coefficient, its own n and its own confidence interval, so none of them is promoted to a headline result. The p-values are adjusted for multiplicity, because ten variables means 45 simultaneous tests. The “Missing values” option genuinely changes the answer here: under complete cases every cell rests on one shared set of observations, while under pairwise deletion each cell uses the complete observations of its own pair.
