Thanks, Tom. I think this is my last question and it relates to weighting.

I weighed the calculation twice:
- After calculating maternal deaths and dividing them by exposure for each age group
- After calculating age specific fertility rates

Is that incorrect? From the code, it's unclear to me when the different parts should be weighted/not weighted.

Thanks,

Blake
