Hi there,

On page 272 of the Namibia DHS report there is a table describing mental health characteristics in women.

I can reproduce most of these descriptives, except for two unusual data points which are zero in the table:

The final line - 50-64 year olds;
Columns - "Average number of days felt little interest or pleasure in doing things in the past 2 weeks" and "Average number of days felt low in energy, been in a bad mood, or been sad all of the time in the past 2 weeks"

In the report these are both 0.0, but I find them to be 0.6 and 0.7.

In the mens' table I can replicate both of these data points using the same code. I checked a histogram and there are a significant number of women who report >0 days, so I am not sure how the 0.0 numbers were produced?
