Hi, I am attempting to reproduce table 9.12 in the 2016 EDHS, and am struggling to reach the correct figures. The figure I am trying to focus on is the Total Number of Women, which is listed as 4308.
I understand that this number is weighted, and because it is labeled as 'Number of Women', I have been using the Individual Records (IR), and have been summing weights of those who have had a birth in the last 23 months (V008 - B3$01 < 24) but I get a total of 4246 instead of the 4308. I have also tried using the Birth Records file, and taking the difference between V008 - B3, but I get 4396. Can someone point out where I am going wrong? I looked at the DHS guide to statistics, https://dhsprogram.com/pubs/pdf/DHSG1/Guide_to_DHS_Statistic s_29Oct2012_DHSG1.pdf, page 108, but I'm assuming that this formula is no longer accurate. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
