This function creates a categorical derived variable (pct_time_der_cat10) that categorizes the derived percent time in Canada variable (pct_time_der).
pct_time_fun_cat(pct_time_der)
| pct_time_der | derived continuous percent time in Canada.

value for categorical percent time in Canada using pct_time_der variable.
The percent time in Canada provides an estimated percentage of the time a person's life was spent in Canada.The categorical percent time in Canada divides the continuous value into 10 percent intervals.
pct_time_der_cat10 uses the derived variable pct_time_der. pct_time_der uses various variables that have been transformed by cchsflow (see documentation on pct_time_der). In order to categorize percent time in Canada across CCHS cycles, the variables must be transformed and harmonized.
