Dear DHS forum members,

can any one help me? am struggling to calculate the EBF using Tanzania Demographic and Health Survey data of 2015/2016 using SPSS. I used the following syntax, but the results are not the same as what has been obtained in Table 11.3 of the TDHS 2015/16 report. where did I go wrong?

Open file.
