PACFLEI exists in cchs2003_m as PACCFLEI according to Data Dictionary.

I've noticed that the worksheets for this branch only go up until 2017-2018. I only bring this up because the PAA_, PAA, and PAY variables are also in 2019-2020 and 2021.

Review complete — Ready to merge with worksheet fixes
- I went ahead and applied fixes based on validation review.
- I updated variables to the most recent years just as an exercise of development and validation infrasctructure I created to support smoking updates. I wanted to see how well it worked de novo on physical activity. I don't expect we'll need/want to do the same for variables other than smoking and adminstrative variables (survey weights, etc.) that we need for current smoking studies.
- I added files to cep-003-physcial-activity but those can be deleted. They include analyses of phsycial activity variables used to support this review.
- Key comments are Quarto publication, or you can render yourself. I suggest the Quarto pub be deleted after we've merged the PR. (Just posted to facilitate the review).
Fixes included
- PACFLEI
_i→_mmigration — All 5 rows now use Master suffix instead of deprecated ICES suffix - PACFLEI dummyVariable naming — Fixed from
cat_cat6toPACFLEI_cat2_*convention - PAC_4B label fix — Corrected "walking" to "biking" in variable labels
- 2019-2020 cycle extension — Added coverage for PAADVTRV, PAYDVTTR, active_transport, energy_exp
- PAADVWHO — New WHO physical activity classification variable (2015-2022 cycles)
- Added double year PUMF files, in addition to single years. i.e. cchs2007_2008_p. Double year PUMF data used for validation.
Validation
- Integration test confirms
rec_with_table()produces valid output for all variables - PUMF validation shows harmonised means consistent with ground truth (PACDEE: 2.02-2.32 kcal/kg/day)
- See CEP-003 integration test for full validation report
Not addressed (intentionally deferred)
- 2022 cycle for PAADVVIG — only this variable available in 2022 PUMF
