Thank you Tom Pullum for your reply.
I understand that the IR file is not well-suited to the analysis for children, so for the analysis I will use either KR or BR.
how about the discription part??
I noticed that the authors used different type of file depend on what is the main interest.
for example, If we are looking at the ditribution of working women across education they used IR file.However, if we are looking at the frequancy of stunted childern in regions they used BR file.
Is this okay that we used different recode file in the same paper. or this will data misspresentive.
Table 1. Child malnutrition (stunted- wasted- underweight- overweight) by socio-economic characteristic.>>>>>>> they used BR
Table 2. Working mothers by socio-economic characteristics.>>>>>>>>> they used IR
Table 3. Percentage of mothers by socio-economic background in various occupations >>>>> they used IR
note
I noticed that the description tables in this paper matched exactly the tables in egypt2014 report.
but how the authors sample 12,888 child where in the report is 13,601 child (Table 12.9 Nutritional status of children page 175)
no exclusion conditions have been done in their paper, so how they got 12,888 ?
Alsom how they get the same numbers as in the report and they used different number of sample.
I think I need to let it go , this paper cant be replicated. I tried to do so b/c its the most related paper to my topic, and i thought if i replicate it i will know how to do a high quality paper.
However now I know that If i publish my paper in the future, I will state this information. (what recode file i used , how many childern in this file , and what is the exclusion condtions or sprecifications)
Your reply is valuable.Thank you again
