Dear all,
i want to merge three years of DHS Rwanda. However, administrative divisions have changed b/w the first and the last surveys.
To have comparable statistics over years, i want to use the more recent administrative division and affect it to all surveys. I plan to retrieve from the last years the correspondence between cluster (hv001) and districts ( hv023 or shdistr) and then affect very cluster from the other year to the new districts base on the value of the cluster hv001.
is is correct?
To be correct, i need that hv001 always affect the same number to the same cluster ( ~village). Is it the case?
thanks in advance
