Dear Tom,

I am also trying to compute the 95% confidence intervals for the probability of dying between exact age 15 and 50 (35q15) among men and women. I am trying to use the jackknife or bootstrap method but require additional technical guidance on how to do this. Working with the following STATA do files from the DHS github: (1) !AMmain (2) AM_rates and (3) AM_gfr, I applied the jackknife command after running !AMmain. However, this only uses the final/single estimated parameter for q_15_to_50 among men and women.

See this image: /index.php?t=getfile&id=2397&private=0

Is there a way to incorporate the jackknife command within the user written programs within the AM_rates do file so that the confidence intervals are integrated as part of the command output dataset titled "Adult_Mortality"?

Thank you!
