Review: PR #168 (Education)

Reviewed EDUDR03 (3-level) and EDUDR04 (4-level) education variables. The PR adds ICES master databases and correctly routes EHG2DVR3 (2015+) to EDUDR03 only. Source variable names verified against MCP metadata database.

Full review details in CEP-013 (ceps/cep-013-education/).

Fixes applied

1. Trailing empty columns removed (19 extra columns in variable_details.csv header, from 22 to 41 columns). Likely from Excel editing.
2. _NA::a → _NAa / _NA::b → _NAb in dummyVariable (9 rows across EDUDR03 and EDUDR04): Colons are invalid in identifiers.

L6 integration results

• EDUDR03: All 9 PUMF cycles pass. 2001-2014 collapse 4-level EDUDR04 source to 3 categories ([3,4]→3). 2015-2018 direct 1:1 mapping from EHG2DVR3.
• EDUDR04: 7 cycles pass (2001-2014). 2015-2016 and 2017-2018 correctly MISS — EHG2DVR3 is 3-level and doesn't map to the 4-level variable.

Design note

For 2015+, CCHS replaced the 4-level EDUDR04 with 3-level EHG2DVR3. The worksheets correctly route this to EDUDR03 (not EDUDR04). MCP metadata has EHG2DVR3.cchsflow_name = EDUDR04, which appears to be an incorrect mapping in the metadata database.

Pre-existing issues (not introduced by this PR)

• cchs2014_m not referenced anywhere in the project (0 variables use it)
• Base file already had trailing comma formatting debt (3296 rows)

Recommendation

PR is good to merge after the fixes are applied. Close and delete the branch after merge.
