Hi Lonkila,

When you say "For the mean and the median of the three variables, I used the calculations explained in the Guide to DHS statistics pages 74-75-76.
But I did not get the same numbers like the report," could you please tell us exactly what you are doing, perhaps by pasting your code here, and exactly which #s you are trying to match? I'll try to take a look at your code and see why your results are different than the final report.

Cheers,
Sarah
