Hi Tom,
thanks for your reply and for your code.
Nevertheless, I believe that it may not be true that anthropometric, hemoglobin and anemia data are in the MR file. It is indeed included in IR and KR but is not in the MR. So if one wants to have this information for males above 5, you have to use the PR file. I have just cross-checked this for MR files of several Sub-Saharan African countries in waves 4-7 and have not found these data, whereas in the PR file they are present.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Regarding the merge: I have asked this in another thread already, but maybe you can answer this as well (please let me know, if you prefer to have it answered in the other thread and I will delete this part here and post it in the other thread).
Using basically the same code you posted, there are several countries for which the three variables are not unqiue identifiers. Some of them in the Master (this is always a merged dataset of PR and GE datasets) data and some of them in the Using data (IR, MR and KR datasets). As said, I am using Sub-Saharan African countries in waves 3 to 7. I have excluded KR from wave 3 because the b16 identifier does not exist there. Also, I have always used "drop if b16==0" and "drop if b16=."
Here's a list of the countries that do not work:
Wave 3:
IR: ML, NI, TG --> all not uniquely identified in the Using data
Wave 4:
IR: ML, SN --> all not uniquely identified in the Using data
Wave 6:
KR: BJ, LS, ML --> all not uniquely identified in the Using data
Separately for each wave, I am using a loop over all countries. For all other countries it works fine. So the code is not the problem - it should be something about the raw data, is what I suspect. Maybe you have an idea?
Thanks and best
Timo
