    The two base years overlap for 64 months (Jan 2003 – Apr 2008). Over those months the ratio between them runs from 0.00865 to 0.00956; the splice uses 0.0092. Compared with LK.CPI.CCPI.2002.HEADLINE.M.

    Splice overlap: 0.009 and 0.01, difference 0.001.

    64 overlapping months 2003-01-01..2008-04-01, factor 0.009203

    Every splice reports the spread of its overlapping-month ratios so the chain factor can be judged. A few per cent is normal.
