Another response from Senior DHS Stata Specialist, Tom Pullum:

The only reason why I merged the PR and IR files was to show you that the cases with "." are "Not Applicable" or "NA" cases, not "missing" cases, as in "refused" or "flagged". The FGC questions were only asked of a subsample.

The FGC subsample was the same as the households randomly selected for the male interviewer simply for easier execution of the survey. Costs were reduced by subsampling for FGC and subsampling men and it was decided to subsample households for both purposes in the same way. There is no reason other than that. Your calculations with g102 and other FGC questions should just use the IR file and the cases that are not missing. The sample size for these variables is the number of cases that are not NA.
