Computer editing and analysis:
Data were edited and cleaned, and inconsistencies or missing values were identified usfng computer. The BBS IBM micro computer was used for data entry, and IBM 4341 mainframe was mused for edit program, tabulation, and data analysis. COBOL, FORTRAN and IMPS were used to write programs for data tabulal:ion. The US National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) reference standards for child growth were entered into the BBS system for comparing the survey data. Cross tabulations were created from the data where the unit of analysis was the survey child. Statistical analyses including rnultivariate and regression analyses presented in this report were done in the IBM compatible PC.
