Which survey you are using (Include country name and year)?Hi, Thanks for the reply. I am using DHS India survey dataset for the latest round 2019-21.
I am referring to BR file (the variable b6 and b7 are also included in the KR file though). Software that I am using is Stata, and I am not trying to match the table. I am trying to calculate odds ratio for nnmr, ima and car, across social groups in India. For that, I was creating a variable for "whether a child survived for 30 days". In order to do so, I was referring to b6 and b7 variable which tells one about the age of the child at death (b7 is imputed age in months).
The the variable has higher values than "60", which is odd. Values are as high as 335 months. Attaching the screenshot for your reference.
