I know the method, and I have the book, but to my knowledge the data needed were not collected in the Indonesia DHS 2012 (unless I'm missing it). Do you see the questions on whether the mother is alive in the questionnaires? (I'm not seeing them).

This method has been used with older surveys, around the time of DHS I and DHS II (up to about 1994), when questions were asked to each individual respondent on whether their mother and father were alive were asked, but these questions have not been used for many years to my knowledge.
