Thanks very much for your detailed response.
The first method of computing age-period specific mortality probabilities is perhaps what i want to apply, however i just didn't understand how it all adds up. In the end i want to be able to compute NMR, IMR,CMR & U5MR from birth history survey data.
In addition, when you use the age period specific mortality probabilities to compute which ever you want, how then do you compute the CIs and tests of significance if needed?

I'll read up the DHS mannaul further, wish DHS was conducting an analysis workshop where some of would endeavor to attend and ask all these questions, I believe though this forum is a step in the right direction
