Hello,
I am trying to reproduce the same figures as those published in the Statcompiler on the % of households with IRS in last 12 months. For some reasons, my figures do not align with yours.
Would it be possible to share the stata/sas code that have been used to calculate those figures so I can compare?

With the following code, the % for Kenya, 2014 is 2.5%. In Stata compiler it is 0.8%. what am I doing wrong? Is anyone can help?

Thank you very much,
Nelly

// Determine whether the survey has the variables of interest: IRS

if `r(N)' != 0 {

rename hv253 irs_in_last_12mo
replace irs_in_last_12mo = . if irs_in_last_12mo > 1

gen sample_weight = hv005 / 1000000

rename hv001 cluster_num


keep iso3 startyear endyear module survey cluster_num hv023 sample_weight irs_in_last_12mo

local mean = mean_IRS[1,1]

Dear User,
A response from malaria expert, Cameron Taylor:

Dear User,
Your code looks right except for you also need to account for the variables hv253a-hv253c which are specifying who sprayed the dwelling in your IRS variable. I also noticed in your code you are using the mean command and creating locals from that. You could shorten your code dramatically by using the estpost command which automatically stores results such as LB and UB from the command. Just sharing some helpful Stata tips!


svyset [pw=wt], psu(hv001) strata(hv023) singleunit(centered)
g irs=0
replace irs=1 if hv253==1 & (hv253a==1|hv253b==1|hv253c==1)

estpost svy: tab irs
ereturn list

Thanks
