Hello, I am trying to replicate the indicator Minimum Acceptable Diet (childre 6-23 months) using the latest DHS survey round (2022). The indicator should be 30.7% (Table 11.8 Final Report), while I am getting roughtly half of it by using the GitHub code.
Specifically, I run the !NTmain.do code where I deactivate those commands for creating indicators I am not interested in (as i only want to get MAD). I therefore only use KEKR8BFL.dta file and the NT_IYCF.do file.
The discrepancy I observe seems to me to be due to the miscalculation of the denominator: I get almost double the cases (Number of all children age 6-23 months) and about 15% MAD.
Do I have to necessarely run all the do files included in the Chap11_NT/DHS8/ repository to get the right figures, or could the mismatch be due to something else?
Many thanks!
