Dear Trevor:
Thanks for the information. I had already selected the appropriate children when I previously posted the frequency distributions of the dietary variables. The attached SPSS output shows these distributions for the specific children you mention - the most recently born living children living with their mothers. In addition, because I'm trying to derive the standard IYCF indicators for complementary feeding adequacy, I've selected only those children 6-23 months of age. As you can readily see, for many of the variables, there are still many missing values. This problem seems to be specific to the 2005 Guinea child recode dataset. The 1999 and 2012 Guinea DHS datasets, as well as the 2000, 2005, and 2011 Ethiopia datasets with which I've worked previously, do not have this problem. Any explanation you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
