I cannot seem to obtain that number of 6,994 children from the Burkina Faso 2010 DHS report from the PR data file that have height-for-age and weight-for-age z-score data. In the PR data file, I see that there are 7,315 children with non-missing data. When I remove the observations that have: height out of plausible limits, age in days out of plausible limits, flagged cases, and observations=9999, I see that the total number of children with height-for-age and weight-for-age z-scores is 6,883. Even when I run a simple tabulation with the household weight variable in STATA, I do not get 6,994 children which is what is reported in the DHS report. Am I missing something?
