Statistical Software Components from Boston College Department of Economics

Abstract: syncmrates calculates child mortality rates using the synthetic cohort probability method employed in Demographic and Health Surveys(DHS). In addition to exactly replicating child mortality rates reported by DHS, syncmrates: 1) allows a flexible range for the time interval over which mortality rates are calculated ; 2) allows the calculation of mortality rates for population sub-groups; 3) calculates bootstrapped standard errors and 95% confidence intervals; 4) tests the difference in mortality rates between groups; and 5) builds monthly time series of mortality rates with their confidence intervals, and plots the series.
