Dear DHS,
A quick one, i'm looking at the mean/median mosquito net age. I'm thinking it a reshaped long variable HML4 to use. However, i realise all nets older than 36 months were grouped into 1 category 96.
How do i get the mean/median age in this case?

Also, for categorical variables which include the options "Don't know",Do you always include them in the denominator or not? i'm thinking including them could under estimate the indicator if the don't knows are significantly large.
Thanks

Geoffrey
