Following is a response from Senior DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

We just posted (in response to a question from Manasa) a program that calculates the rates for stunting, etc., by state. It can be adapted to other subpopulations.

If you are having difficulty matching with the spreadsheets, the most important thing to check is whether the factsheets used the children in the PR file or the KR file. Also, if they used the PR file, check the title for whether there was a restriction of any kind, perhaps related to de jure residence.

The files for the NFHS-5 went through several updates, and some changes affected the weights. There are some tables for which we cannot get an exact match with the reports and factsheets.
