Hey,

Using the Kenya DHS 2014 , the variable that shows the mosquito bed designation number is hmlidx_1 to hmldx_7. The sum of hmlidx_1 to hmldx_7 gives me a total of 46792 mosquito nets for all the households in the dataset. There is a second variable that asks households to state the total of mosquito nets they have. This variable gives a total of 23,388 mosquito nets. My expaectation was for the two totals to be equal. Why do we have a discrepancy?
