Below, you may observe that each variable has the .NAOK suffix attached to it. This is because of how EM supports cascading relevance. If you did not have .NAOK, then the sum would only be computed if the person said she has 4 children (e.g., if all of the variables are relevant). The usage of .NAOK means that we want to compute the sum even if all or some of the variables are irrelevant (e.g., "Not Applicable" (NA) is alright (OK)).
