Hi Tom,
This is super helpful and now I have the denominator. A quick question about the numerator (MMRate) if you don't mind. I'm curious if you have the values at each step of the calculation because I'm getting 478 deaths instead of 451 and can't seem to figure out where I'm going wrong. Here's what I have:
106,590 female siblings (mm2)
12,514 ever deceased female siblings (mm8)
3,679 deceased female siblings at ages 15-49 years (mm7)
1,152 siblings died during pregnancy or within 42 days (mm9)
1,152 siblings died within 42 days of delivery (mm12)
1,109 siblings did not die due to accidents or violence (mm16)
478 siblings that died within the 84 months preceding the survey (mm8, v008)
Thanks,
Blake
