Dear Steve,
I have two datasets.
1) One dataset has individual information for each
individual in the household (individual
characteristics) and also hh id, regions,pweights,
psu, etc..
2) However, deaths are in a separate dataset which
includes only those individuals that died, it
specifies: household id, region, gender, pweights,
psu, and the causes of death.
I want to calculate mortality ratios for each of the
causes of death (e.g. disease, traffic accident) per
region.
So basically the hh id is the variable to know which
individuals died in each household.
So I think I need to first joinby both datasets, then
calculate the population estimates per region and then
mortality ratios?
thanks,
Gaby
