I am working with DHS 15-16 for India.

I am trying to regenerate the statistics presented in the final report (Table 10.1). I have been able to do so for all the cases expect for Mother's nutritional status subheading. I have already gone through all the previous posts on the forum regarding the same and have used all the filters as explained but all in vain. Can someone please help me with this?

TIA!!

I did a merge of KR (v001 v002 b16) and PR (hv001, hv002, hvidx) with PR as my base. I am working with DHS 15-16 for India.

I found that obs in HA40 and V445 are not matching which is not right according to other posts in the forums. I did a little digging so as to why they are not matching. All the variables containing the child and household characteristics (HW70 with HC70; HW71 with HC71 etc.) are matching. But the variables containing mother's characteristics are not matching. Further it looks like as if they have got shifted by one place. I have no idea how is that happening. After this i checked the merged file with my base files. It looks as if the problem is with the base PR file itself.

I have attached an image that can tell the whole problem. I have selected 3 variables to demonstrate the issue. But the trend is all over.

I used this same file(merged) to generate all the estimates as presented in the final table 10.1. I got them all matching except the ones that involve mother's characteristics (schooling, interview and BMI).
