Good afternoon Janet,

Thank you very much for your response.

Please I have several questions:

1. From this statement below, please how do I know the number of siblings a woman had? To help me know which data to delete correctly.

"You need to delete the lines of data that go beyond the number of siblings that a woman actually had."


2. The NGIR7BFL individual recode data set has 41,821 cases of women 15-49 years who were interviewed.

Please can you kindly explain what the 836,420 stands for, if 41,821 is the number of cases?

3. In the attached, I did a manual computation on an Excel sheet to better understand the data. I have tried to combine the 20 MM9 variables in the NGIR7BFL data but I am still getting missing cases.

I did a quick descriptive analysis of the 20 MM9 variables in the dataset (MM9$01 to MM9 $20)and got the below:

Descriptive Statistics
N Minimum Maximum Mean Std. Deviation
MM9$01- Sibling's death and pregnancy 1112 1 6 1.59 1.146
MM9$02 -Sibling's death and pregnancy 834 1 6 1.56 1.108
MM9$03-Sibling's death and pregnancy 707 1 6 1.63 1.121
MM9$04-Sibling's death and pregnancy 553 1 6 1.65 1.166
MM9$05-Sibling's death and pregnancy 367 1 5 1.66 1.110
MM9$06-Sibling's death and pregnancy 264 1 6 1.69 1.297
MM9$07-Sibling's death and pregnancy 174 1 5 1.53 .995
MM9$08-Sibling's death and pregnancy 96 1 6 1.59 1.091
MM9$09-Sibling's death and pregnancy 46 1 5 1.50 .913
MM9$10-Sibling's death and pregnancy 25 1 5 1.84 1.405
MM9$11-Sibling's death and pregnancy 10 1 3 1.30 .675
MM9$12- Sibling's death and pregnancy 1 1 1 1.00 .
MM9$13- Sibling's death and pregnancy 0
MM9$14- Sibling's death and pregnancy 1 1 1 1.00 .
MM9$15-Sibling's death and pregnancy 0
MM9$16- Sibling's death and pregnancy 0
MM9$17- Sibling's death and pregnancy 0
MM9$18- Sibling's death and pregnancy 0
MM9$19- Sibling's death and pregnancy 0
MM9$20- Sibling's death and pregnancy 0
Valid N (listwise) 0


Please I want to confirm what the N represents.

What does the 1112 in MM9$01 imply?

4. I am unable to translate the stata code to SPSS, please can I kindly get some guidance

Thank you

kind regards
Kanayo Omonoju



Thank you
