Thank you, Brian and Dr. King, for your time and detailed answer. I had explored the women and household file as the unit of analysis in beginning in IPUM-DHS for my samples and found that, e.g. breastfeeding and BIDX information were missing in the household recoded file in IPUMs.(see e.g. attached) and all my variable of interest were present only in completion in the children recoded file. Also, age for children in months (HML16A) was also missing for Malawi, Uganda, and Zimbabwe amongst other variables. I will continue to work on with your explicit explanation of the NUI and explore the other unit of analysis in details at a more later stage because of my time constraint. I sincerely appreciate your time.
