Dear All,

I am trying to examine the relationship between living arrangement measured by children living with both parents, living with mother alone, living with father alone and living with neither of the two. I am using the PR recode because it also has nutritional status which is another variable of interest. I have been able to successfully merge the PR and the KR recode. But after merging, I find that the variable created (living arrangement) does not include two categories (children living with father alone and children with no parents). I am assuming this is because the KR is asked from mothers alone. Could this be the case? If yes, what can I do or can I use another recode.

I am currently working with the Nigerian 2013 dataset.
