Hi there!

I have tried to calculate MDD and MAD using the Github Stata code, but my rates are lower than what appears in the DHS Report. For example, I am finding that 6.84% of children have a minimum acceptable diet, whereas the report finds 7.9%. My sample size of children is the same as in the report (3,090 kids), so my guess is that there is something slightly different in how MAD is created for Tanzania than the general Github code. Attached is the code I've used. If someone can help me figure out how to help me match the report, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!
Heather
