Re: st: R: death rate calculation - (flag: Stata 9/2 SE)

You recently asked for assistance with a sample survey, but you say  
nothing about a sample in this thread. Since you used the word  
"census" (which means an attempted 100% count),  may we assume that  
you have observations from all the households in the study population?

Dear All,
But my data set is not in the form to do a event history analysis.  I
have the details of all the usual residents in the household and
collected information on age, sex and other paritculars of the persons
present (surviving) at the time of survey. And for all the person who
dead after the reference period, i.e. after 2006, we have collected
age at death, sex of the person, month of death and year of death.
From this information, I want to calculate the death rate.

Is any one know how my data can be converted to do the analysis that
is suggested by Carlo?

Thanks and regards,

RAM
