Hello,

I wanted to compute the Wanted Fertility rate and followed the instruction and the method posted by the one of the user but results are not matching with the report.

Can I get help on this?

These are the steps followed-
A preceding child (let's say j) is considered living at the time of conception of the child i if:
**C1) j is born before the date of conception of i, That is: b3_j < dconcep_i
**C2) j is living at the time of the survey, That is: b5_j==1
**C3) OR j died at or before the date of conception of i, That is: b3_j + b7_j <= dconcep_i
But a child who died at or before conception of the next child is dead at the time of conception.
The correct code should be
**C3) OR j died after the date of conception of i, That is: b3_j + b7_j > dconcep_i

Thank you.
