2022-23 Malawi Rapid Mortality Mobile Phone Survey (RaMMPS) dataset. Data in Brief (2025). Amadi, Romero-Prieto, ..., and Reniers.
This is a code repository for the manuscript “2022–23 Malawi Rapid Mortality Mobile Phone Survey (RaMMPS) dataset”, *Data in Brief* (2025)
Volume 63, 112221. doi.org
The MATLAB file RaMMPS_data.m produces the three tables included in the manuscript, using some input data files: RaMMPSdst.csv, DHSmalawidst.csv, and RaMMPScalls.csv.
These data files are not part of this repository but can be consolidated after running the Stata do-file RaMMPS_processing.do, available at Romero-Prieto/RaMMPS_U5M (also within this GitHub account).
RaMMPS_data.m requires some nested m-functions to produce tables and to do some calculations, also available at the same repository.
This routine requires the following raw data files, available from these repositories:
MW_AnalyticSample.dta and MW_AllCallAttempts.dta from DataFirst, the RaMMPS project data repository, available at: doi.org
MWIR7AFL.dta, MWBR7AFL.dta, and MWPR7AFL.dta, from the 2015–16 Malawi Demographic and Health Survey by the DHS Program, available at: dhsprogram.com
hh.sav, wm.sav, and bh.sav, from the 2019–20 Malawi Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey by UNICEF MICS, available at: mics.unicef.org
The do-file and m-file run automatically from top to bottom, but the user may need to adjust the file paths for reading the data and saving the outputs.
