Following is a response from DHS Senior Sampling Expert, Ruilin Ren:

Thanks for your email. Your SAS code is correct and the number of cases (both weighted and unweighted ) you got for the couples are correct too. However, the tabulation of table 14.13 in the Kenya report 2008-09 was not done in the standard fashion. The problem is with the treatment of polygamous couples (ie where husbands report they have more than one wife living in the same household). In table 14.13 in the 2008-9 Kenya report, in the case of polygamous men, only the couple including the man with his first wife was included in the tabulation. The standard approach for this table is to include all tested couples, such that a polygamous man would be included in the table for each one of his wives. Please see the SAS code below where the output matches exactly the table 14.13.

Hope this helps.
