Unknown country code in NHIA algorithm #49

Closed WerthPADOH closed 5 years ago

In the line below, I'm not sure which country "SWK" is. I didn't find it in the ISO-3166 table or SEER's country codes.

"SWK" is the old SEER code for "Slovakia", but it was changed to "SVK" a few years ago. I am not sure why this algorithm was not updated (especially since I see other country codes that were updated).

I am going to investigate a little bit more before fixing this.

This library is supposed to implement the same logic as the corresponding SAS program provided by NAACCR (https://www.naaccr.org/analysis-and-data-improvement-tools/#NHAPIIA). It turns out that program is also missing the new "SVK" code. That is going to be fixed and a new version is going to be uploaded on the NAACCR website; when that happens, I will add the new code to this library as well.

The SAS code has not been fixed yet, but it should be soon. Since this library is going to be released soon, I added the missing "SVK" code to that list.
