Hi!

I have been working on Pakistan MMS 2019. Our requirements from Life table calculation demands calculations for sub national level mortality estimates. In this regards, i followed github code for adult motality (Chapter 16) from SPSS and STATA DHS libraries. Since Code library for PMMS is not available at github. The DHS libraries provides explanatory codes for calculation of Adult mortality etc. There are some macros applied in codes. These macros are not understandable to me. I explored the youtube gallery of DHS for its explanation where the mortality rates are calculated with explanations. Unfortunately nothing has been found on it at youtube gallery. Is there any video available where nqx column is calculated with proper illustrations and explanations?

I am following attached codes for regenerating the complete abridge life tables.

It will be really helpfull for new researchers of mortality data from DHS/MMS surveys.

Your support with video resources on it will be highly appreciateble and helpfull here.

Regards
Waqas Imran
