Following is a response from DHS Technical Specialist, Shireen Assaf:

The PR file contains height and weight measurement information on all children in the household. If you are trying to merge the HW file to obtain the WHO reference for computing anthropometric measures, you should merge HW with PR. The IR file is the women's file where the unit of analysis is the women and there will be multiple responses for women that have several children. I am assuming your unit of analysis is the child, in that case you should use PR or KR file depending on what you are looking at.
