Thank you for your response. It is very important to me that I understand exactly what is going on in the data so that I can make informed decisions about how to analyze the sample, so that I can accurately describe all the pertinent aspects of the data in a publication, and so that my results are reproducible. I continue to be confused about:
1. Why there are duplicate observations in terms of v001 v002 v003 when there are no duplicate observations of caseid in the individual data file in 2012. I would like to know exactly how caseid is constructed if not solely based on v001 v002 v003.
2. Why there are households with eligible women who did not participate in the household member file. Why did these women not participate? What should I make of these households?
Thank you so much again for your time and patience.
