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

This is not an easy table. Besides having to change the weights with all-women factors, which are covariate-specific, you have to make some adjustments for ages below age 15, because the survey is limited to women age 15+. We prepared a Methodological Report on the topic of under-15 fertility.

I see you are using Stata code from GitHub. I don't have time to review and test it, but earlier this year I revised the GitHub code for DHS-8 (this has not yet been posted on GitHub). BD 2017-18 is not a DHS-8 survey but I think it may help. Look for generic table 5.12, which is numbered 5.11 in this BD report. Here is a link to the program, as a text tile: HERE.

Because the awfactors are different for different covariates. You cannot do multivariate analysis with logit regression.

If you search the forum you will find a discussion about constructing a revised or pseudo-IR file that incorporates the AW adjustment into the weight variable v005. If you do that, you can do logit regression but you will not get an exact match to DHS tables.

I am traveling and cannot provide much more help on this. Hope you can figure it out. As you may know, a new BD survey was just released.
