I am working with dhs data of several country (the individual surveys) and I often find that the regional variable v024 (and even other variables such as religion) sometimes present values that are not codified. E.g., in Bangladesh the v024 variable is supposed to go from 1 to 6, but tabulating the variable this is the result I get:
region | Freq. Percent Cum.
------------+-----------------------------------
barishal | 12,084 11.23 11.23
chittagong | 17,964 16.70 27.93
dhaka | 21,921 20.38 48.31
khulna | 15,446 14.36 62.67
rajshani | 18,963 17.63 80.29
6 | 12,253 11.39 91.68
7 | 6,719 6.25 97.93
8 | 2,229 2.07 100.00
------------+-----------------------------------
Total | 107,579 100.00
Are these human errors when compiling datasets or are there perhaps other regions that are not indicated in the dictionary? If so, where can I find such a list?
P.s.: the question extends to all other variables for which this scenario might occur.
Many thanks in advance!
