Dear Sir/Mam

I was trying to replicate some paper based on DHS-1 Data set so that to make sure if I am getting accurate results, so for that I used the DHS-1 data set of Zimbabwe and I was trying to merge the Service availability cluster level information with the individual level, but I did not able to produce exact results. It would be very helpful if anyone can help with that.

//syntax: using the individual level data and
// merge m:1 "cluster number" using the " Service availability data of Zimbabwe"

Following is a response from DHS Research & Data Analysis Director, Tom Pullum:

Are you using data files that are available on the DHS website? Please give the file name for the cluster level information.

Following is a response from DHS Research & Data Analysis Director, Tom Pullum:

I will paste below the lines to do a merge with the IR file (without the paths to the files). If your question is about matching the results in a paper, we cannot help with that. But was this a DHS report?

use ZWSQ02FL.DTA , clear

rename acluster v001
sort v001
save ZWSQ02temp.DTA, replace

use ZWPR01FL.DTA , clear
sort v001
merge v001 using ZWSQ02temp.DTA
tab _merge
keep if _merge==3
drop _merge
