icd9_chapters, icd9_chapters_sub and icd9_majors contain mappings from the higher level descriptions of ICD-9 codes to the ranges of ICD-9 codes they describe. Helpful in summarizing codes or grouping for human-readable output. These can easily be converted to a co-morbidity mapping, as shown in the vignette.
