Dear all,I have some questions based on 2016 Ethiopia DHS KR data set:-
1)Even if age (HW1for KR file) is necessary to analyze Childhood Nutritional status,There are alot of "." or not applicable symbol. So How can I deal with it? Can I clean these cases?
2)Another challenge to conduct my MPH thesis is,My target population are children aged 6-59 months old,So Can I delete/clean cases less than 6 months old children?
3) Regarding missing values(9999),flagged cases(9998),not present(9994),refused(9995)and 9996(others)in variables like WH70,WH71 and WH72,What are your recommendations? Can I delete/clean them? or Can I imputate them?
4) Hello my Heros,I am in many challenges regarding Complex samples,Imputation and creating Aggregated Community level factors like Multiple child deprivation index,Community women education rate etc using SPSS Version 24. So please kindly tell me you suggestion and recommendation on these issues.
Respectfully,Hassen
