I am using the same identical code in both R and STATA from this Github repo for women's decision-making indicators (from chapter 15, for example; Decides on own health: we_decide_health) and did not get the same result as the Myanmar DHS report figure. Quite different in terms of estimation proportion and total weighted number. Of course, using the same code for weight construction still gets a different result. Would you mind checking what essential steps were missing?

This is the GitHub repo I took R and STATA code.

Following is a response from DHS staff member Tom Pullum:

Please clarify. Can you give the specific table in chapter 15 and a specific number in that table that you are not matching? And do the R code and S code agree with each other (although they differ from the table)?
