Dear,

I , Dr. Sabbir Ahmed , am currently doing public health research under MPH in University of Malaya, Malaysia.

I am using the secondary data set ( DHS 2014) of Demographic health Survey (DHS) regarding a topic

I am facing trouble to convert the sample estimate to population estimate. Specially the V005 variabe of BDKR72FL file.

It has only weightage for women . so to divide the data of V005 by 1000000 to get the women population.

But how can I calculate the total number of Under five children of Bangladesh from this data set ?

Please give your valuable input.

Regards,
Sabbir
