Hello,
Using ETIR70SV.zip data set, I want to categorize preceding birth interval in to Short and Not short birth interval. On the dataset, there is a list of variables of preceding birth interval(months) from b11_01 to b11_20 and only b11_01 to b11_13 have observation. It was recorded in months (i.e. unit of measurement). My questions are:
1. What does b11_01, b11_02, b11_03,.........b11_20 each represents for?
2. How can I categorize in to short and not short birth interval to know to overall magnitude of the country?
I was actually reading the Guide to DHS statistics which is very helpful but am not very clear with the above points. I am very thankful if you share me your do file and look forward to your suggestion and guidance. Thank you in advance!
