Hello,

I am trying to reproduce the Bangladesh 2011 report on marital status like the previous post (p. 48 Table 4.1). Using the women's recode file IR, I followed the instructions in the following posts, however I still do not get the numbers in the report. I do get the amount of observations for each subgroup (15-19 has 4306 ) correctly. However, I get the following output, which does not correspond to the DHS Report in Bangladesh:

Linearized
Over Ratio Std. Err. [95% Conf. Interval]

_ratio_1
_subpop_1 .4573656 .0056447 .446279 .4684522
_subpop_2 .8660365 .0011715 .8637355 .8683374
_subpop_3 .9695809 .0004497 .9686977 .9704641
_subpop_4 .9878733 .0000919 .9876928 .9880539
_subpop_5 .9918975 .0000976 .9917057 .9920893
_subpop_6 .9970216 .0001117 .9968023 .9972409
_subpop_7 .9976134 .0001192 .9973792 .9978476

As you can see the percentage of married women of 45.7% does correspond to the number Jan posted. What did I do wrong?

I would highly appreciate your help. Thank you very much.

Kind regards,
Inez
