Dear Liz,
Thanks for the mail. I have already seen those links.
I wish to inform you that I have resolved all the issues except one which is as follows.
The third column of table 6.14 and table 6.13 (See NFHS national report, page 178-179), which is percentage of pregnancies in the past five years that ended in the non-live birth is not matching (both the percentage and sample).
Kindly let me know how the DHS has calculated this. I am using the event file (five year history and also I have removed the current pregnancies). I understand that the denominator is all the pregnancies (births + any terminations) in the past five years (excluding the current pregnancies). I am using the variable ev902 (which is variable vcal_2 in iair file). It would be great if you could let me know the inclusion and exclusion criterion which needs to be taken care of. I would highly appreciate if you could share the STATA codes for the same.
As I was able to match the table 6.15 and 6.16 (percentages as well as sample), I hope I have created the event file correctly but I don't know what is going wrong in calculating the percentage of pregnancies in the past five years that ended in the non-live births.
Your quick and positive response in the matter is highly appreciated.
Thanks and regards
Kirti
