I am working with the Mali 2006 Dataset.
The variable S915 gives the daughters age at the time of circumcision. This as I understand it from the questionnaire is given in 3 digits, the first being the year, and the second two being the month.
The range of data is from 100 - 995. I understood 100 to mean 1 year and no months and that this means that no girls were circumcised younger than 1 year.
However, in the DHS report for Mali 2006 table 18.6 'Âge des filles à l'excision' the data and range of ages shown does not seem to match to the information within variable S915 in the dataset.
Would you be able to explain to me how the data in table 18.6 is calculated?
Many thanks
Janet
