Regional child mortality with DHS.rates [message #28199]

Hello!
I am using the R package DHS.rates to produce estimates at the regional (ADM1) level. It worked for TFR.
Running this successfully produced subnational TFRs:

df <- fert(IRdata,Indicator="tfr", JK="Yes", Class="v024")

But when I try it an analogous approach with child mortality, it does not work.
Running this:

df <- chmort( BRdata, JK = "Yes", Class="v024")

produces the following error:

"Error in attributes(DatD[[Class]])$levels[[j]] : subscript out of bounds"

I believe the hang-up is due to the "Class" option, since running without the option successfully produces national level child-mortality indicators. (I've also tried other "Class" options such as "v025". This also produced the same error.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
Anne

Yes, it does look like the latest version has a bug in it related to the Class parameter. We will try to get this fixed quickly.
For now, as a quick fix, you could loop over the v024 levels and run a separate chmort in each loop.
