India- NFHS-4 Discrepancy in getting data data on ever experienced physical violence
https://userforum.dhsprogram.com/index.phpindex.php?t=rview&goto=25150&th=11983#msg_25150
gen wt=d005/1000000
gen dv_phy = 0 if v044==1
replace dv_phy =1 if d106==1 | d107==1
replace dv_phy = 1 if d130a>=1 & d130a<=4
replace dv_phy = 1 if d115y==0
replace dv_phy = 1 if d118y==0
tab dv_phy [iweight=wt]
I am getting pv = 29.56% instead of 26.8% mentioned in the report.
Please help.

When I run your code I also get 29.56%, which rounds to 28.6%, like you. However, the value in table 16.1 (bottom row, first number) of the NFHS-4 report is not 26.8%. It is 29.5%. Could you have been looking at the wrong table or the wrong report?
If I omit the line "replace dv_phy = 1 if d130a>=1 & d130a<=4", I get 29.49%, which rounds to 29.5% and matches the table.

Thanks for attaching that picture of Table 16.1 from the NFHS-4 report with the value 26.8% circled. I was working from the version of the report that is on our website: https://www.dhsprogram.com/pubs/pdf/FR339/FR339.pdf. I go to the last row of Table 16.1, on page 575, and the number is 29.5%. The n's are the same, but the percentages are different
As I recall, the report on this survey went through some revisions. This must have been one of the tables that changed.
As I said, "If I omit the line "replace dv_phy = 1 if d130a>=1 & d130a<=4", I get 29.49%, which rounds to 29.5% and matches the table." I don't think that line is needed.
So the main problem was that you didn't realize that table 16.1 had been updated. Hope this resolves the issue.
