Good day
Thank you very much for the information and response.
When I did the frequencies for variable 'child', I get ages from 0-4 years for current at of child and 1 - 59 months for age at death - months imputed. Can't these then be used/grouped into infants (0 years - current age and 1-11 age at death - months imputed) and children (1-4 years-current age and 12-59 months - age at death- months imputed)?
The above is the process I have followed to formulate and compute infant and child mortality using this data-set and ended up with very high infant mortality levels (e.g 192 per 1000) and very low child mortality levels (e.g 25 per 1000). The question raised was that 'what caused the sharp instant increase in death just from 12 months and higher in Angola?'. Again the AMIS 2011 report had presented both infant and child mortality levels.
Regards,
Jacob
