MICS4 Data Processing Workshop
Secondary Data Processing
• Exporting data from CSPro
– Create SPSS data file and syntax file from
CSPRO data file and dictionary
• Importing data to SPSS
– Executing syntax file created by CSPro
• Recoding variables
– Creating new variables and recoding old
variables
MICS4 Data Processing Workshop
Secondary Data Processing
• Adding sample weights
– Sample weights are added from weights
spreadsheet
• Adding wealth index
– Wealth index calculated then added to files
• Adding GPS data
– Geographic location data added to files
• Tabulation
– Tables are generated from the analysis files
MICS4 Data Processing Workshop
The Export Application
• A batch application
– uses export to command
• Creates SPSS data and description files for eight types
of cases:
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
Household (HH)
Household member (HL)
Insecticide-treated Nets (TN)
Woman (WM)
Female Genital Cutting (FG)
Birth History (BH)
Under-five (CH)
Man (MN)
MICS4 Data Processing Workshop
The Household (HH) Export
• Syntax:
export to myHH
HH1, HH2, { ID vars }
MODHH, MODWS, MODHC, MODIR, MODCD,
MODHW, MODSI, HHSex;
• Creates
– c:\mics4\spss\myHH.sps
– c:\mics4\spss\myHH.dat
MICS4 Data Processing Workshop
The Household (HH) Export
• HHSex:
recoded variable that was created using
information from the Household Listing:
HHSex = notappl;
if HH9 = 1 then
HHSex = HL4(1);
endif;
MICS4 Data Processing Workshop
Exporting a Household Member
• Household members data stored in rosters
• Must export correct data from each roster for
each household member
• For each:
– export data using occurrence numbers

Reading the Data Into SPSS
• To read one of the exported data files into
SPSS:
1. Start SPSS
2. Open the syntax file associated with the data
file
3. Execute the syntax file
• run --> all
4. Save the file as XX.SAV
• where XX is HH, HL, TN, WM, FC, BH, CH or MN
MICS4 Data Processing Workshop
Saving the Data File
• It is helpful to have the syntax file
automatically save the data file that it
creates
• To do so, add the following line to the end
of the syntax file:
save outfile = 'hh.sav'.
