Details

This is a real data gathered in Iran including 31 provinces and 52 years for child mortality.

There are three types of data that include the summary (SBH) and complete birth history (CBH) data,

Census data and the Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) contain SBH questions only; the DHS contains CBH questions as well.

Subsequently, the census data of 1986, 1996, 2006, and 2011, the DHS data of 2000 and 2010 were determined as the sources of data.
