Here is a response from one of our Senior Data Processing Specialists, Lady Ortiz, that should answer your questions.

If you want to replicate the figures from table 11.1, you are using the wrong file. You should be using the Household Members ( "PR") data file, which has all the members listed in the household. The Children ("KR") data file contains only ever born children 0-59 months of age, from women with completed interviews.

The weight variable should be HV005 and should be divided by a million because of the 6 implicit decimals. Please see below, a sample syntax in SPSS.

*// [ Calculating weight ] *.
COMPUTE rweight = HV005 / 1000000.
WEIGHT BY rweight.

*// This table is only for defacto living children 0-59 months old, with valid data in HC70 .
SELECT IF ( HV103 = 1 & HC1 >= 0 & HC1 <= 59 & HC70 <= 9990).
