I have used the following syntax for merging PR and KR files on NFHS-4

use kr.dta

rename (v001 v002 b16)(hv001 hv002 hvidx)

drop if hvidx==0 | hvidx==.

save kr.dta

use pr.dta

sort hv001 hv002 hvidx

merge m:m hv001 hv002 hvidx using kr.dta

The results are as follows



Result # of obs.
-----------------------------------------
not matched 2,624,197
from master 2,624,194 (_merge==1)
from using 3 (_merge==2)

matched 244,855 (_merge==3)


I am working on KR file. I have estimated stunting varibale from KR file and need some variables from PR file.
The stunting estimate is matching with the reported figure.

. ta child_stunt [aw=wt]

child_stunt Freq. Percent Cum.

0 143,158.22 61.59 61.59
1 37,867.5617 16.29 77.88
2 51,414.222 22.12 100.00

Total 232,440 100.00

in child_stunt 1 is below -300.
But I am having issue of tallying the frequencies. The frequency I am getting is not matching with the report (page 337).

Please do let me know if I am doing anything wrong.
Thanks in advance.
