Following is a response from Senior DHS Specialist, Fred Arnold:

We recently found an error in the construction of this table. The revised version of the table will be included in the final NFHS-4 report, which will be published in June.

Following is a response from Senior Data Processing Specialist, Mianmian Yu:

Thanks for the question. The delivery cost in Table 8.20 was calculated from variables S449 and S448BA-BD.

Attached is the CSPro code used for the table.

Dear Mianmian Yu,

Thank you so much for the CSpro code used for the computation of delivery cost. I have converted this codes into SPSS code but getting difference between Rupees 1-3. It may be error by my side to convert CSPro code to SPSS code. I have request to you, if possible to send STATA codes for computation of delivery cost will be better to convert codes in to SPSS.

Regards,

Kailash
