In DHS.rates: Calculates Demographic Indicators

Description

admort returns adult mortality indicators such as the Age Specific Mortality Rate (ASMR), Age Adjusted Mortality Rate (AAMR), Age Specific Maternal Mortality Rate (ASMMR), Age Adjusted Maternal Mortality Rate (AAMMR), Age Specific Pregnancy Related Mortality Rate (ASPRMR), Age Adjusted Pregnancy Related Mortality Rate (AAPRMR), Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR) and Pregnancy Related Mortality Ratio (PRMR). admort returns the Standard Error (SE), exposure (N), weighted exposure (WN), Design Effect (DEFT), Relative Standard Error (RSE), and Confidence Interval (CI).

  CL = NULL,
  Strata = NULL,
  Cluster = NULL,
  Weight = NULL,
  Date_of_interview = NULL,
  PeriodEnd = NULL,

)

Arguments

Data.Name	The DHS women (IR) dataset or data from other survey with the same format.
Indicator	Type of indicator to be calculated ("asmr", "aamr", "asmmr", "aammr", "asprmr", "aaprmr", "mmr", "prmr", "aagfr").
JK	"Yes" to estimate Jackknife SE for AAMR, AAMMR, AAPRMR, MMR and PRMR.
CL	Confidence level to calculate the Confidence Coefficient Z of the Confidence Intervals; default if 95.
Strata	Stratification variable if other than "v022".
Cluster	Sample cluster variable if other than "v021".
Weight	Survey weight variable if other than "v005".
Date_of_interview	Date of Interview (CMC) variable if other than "v008".
PeriodEnd	The end of the exposure period in YYYY-MM format; default is the date of the survey.
Period	The study period for fertility in months; default is 36 months (3 years).

Value

Mortality indicators (ASMR, AAMR, ASMMR, AAMMR, ASPRMR, AAPRMR, MMR, PRMR and AAGFR), and precision indicators (SE, DEFT, RSE, and CI).
