Following is a response from DHS Research & Data Analysis Director, Tom Pullum:

I checked and found that you are referring to an article that appeared in Demographic Research in January 2020. I looked at the data from the Angola 2015-16 survey. The KR file has 3069 unweighted surviving children age 12-24 months, as you obtained. The weighted number is 2969. The Demographic Research article says there were 5090. That number is wrong, no matter whether it was obtained from the KR, PR, or HR files. However, it may be just a typo--maybe if refers to one of the other surveys on the list.

I suggest that you contact the authors or the journal directly.
