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

You are running the program with the maximum number of options--that's why it is taking so long. The difference between the different runs with "All" is in the reference period. Here is a listing that includes lw and uw:


. list lw uw *MR if label=="All", table clean

lw uw NNMR PNNMR IMR CMR U5MR
1. -14 -10 20.59 13.62 34.20 12.95 46.71
2. -9 -5 24.84 13.03 37.87 8.26 45.82
3. -9 0 22.96 12.09 35.04 8.65 43.40
74. -4 0 21.23 11.23 32.46 9.02 41.18


Here lw and uw identify the lower and upper ends of the "window" of deaths and exposure. Thus, (-14,-10) means 10-14 years ago. (-9,-5) is 5-9 years ago. (-9,0) is 0-9 years ago, that is, the past 10 years. (-4,0) is the past 5 years. The program (which I wrote) give you a lot of flexibility in the specification of time intervals and covariates, but you may not need that much. Let us know if you have other questions.
