Wild Code.
In survey research, "wild" codes are codes that are not authorized for a
particular question. For instance, if a question that records the sex of the
respondent has documented codes of "1" for female and "2" for male and "9"
for "missing data," a code of "3" would be a "wild" code, sometimes called
an "undocumented code."
