Discuss CHR data years #300

Open LKMason opened 4 months ago

What year of CHR data should we reference for the quantile calculations? The data fields themselves are gathered from different years, and not necessarily from the year of the CHR release. Should we match up CHR release with the data year? How do we handle missing fields?

And what do we do about aggregate year data?

Whatever choice we make, we should make it very clear which CHR reference dataset is being used. This could get more complicated in the future if we bring in more data sources, and it may be wise to start referencing individual data sources when they are selected.
