I appended IR files from round 1 through 5 and found duplicates in terms of caseid when I checked for duplicates.
Is a caseid unique to the particular round? Or two women from different rounds can have same caseid? Were strictly different women surveyed in different rounds?
I also created a womanid by adding a round prefix to the existing caseid and the womanid did not have duplicates.
I'm not sure if this indicates an error on my part while cleaning data or the structure of the data is such.
Would appreciate any help.
Thanks
PS: in fact I went through caseids for the different rounds and I can see the caseids for IR file are not unique to a round. A woman in DHS 1992-93 has same caseid as that in DHS 1998-99. So the follow up question is are these different women or the same?
