Hello,
I have been struggling mightily trying to merge the PR, KR and IR data sets for the 2012-2014 Senegal dataset. I have looked into the different ideas proposed in the forum as well as watched the YouTube videos but I continue to be unsuccessful. In the end, I want to be sure that I have successfully linked all of the kids to their mothers. I am using the numbers and % of children in the 2014 report with fever 2 weeks prior as a check against my work.
The report indicates a rate of 11.4% among 5942 (6,842 unweighted observations in KR). Meanwhile, I am finding 6,223 unweighted observations and ending up with a rate of 11.9% among 6,239.
I am not sure why I am missing kids info during the merge.
Below is the code that I have come up so far. Any help with troubleshooting to replicate DHS results would greatly appreciated.
Thank you
