I'm trying to write my research question for master thesis.I have complicated for my MDHS maternal mortality data for using DID model and probit/ heckman model.I have to find sample selection and bias. I have to check my data for using econometric model.The result of data is very important for research paper.And then, Mozambique's lasted report are not English language.And then, I have download a lot of DHS data codes for using.I didn't understand maternal mortality ratio.I found that idx97 variables are maternal mortality index is easily using for maternal mortality ratio paper.But I don't understand how can I interpret idx97_01 table for maternal mortality.For example, when maternal mortality index 1, freq( total number of women)12003 and percent 100 for interpretation.If I will combine all of idx97_01 to idx97_20, those observation are bigger that selected total number of women for survey.My outcome variable or dependent variable (y) is maternal mortality and main variable and control variables or independent variables (x) is maternal health services those are binary variable for my model.I will analyze GHI program that has lunched 2010.That's why I will compare before (2003) and after (2011) for maternal mortality ratio of Mozambique.Therefore, I would like to know maternal mortality data variables (mm2_ , mm9_, and id97x_) among them which variable is better for maternal mortality.I have to analyze those variables with using econometric model.I'm complicated maternal data for individual data or household data.And then, Does sibling survival status data include men information for mortality?
