Source discrepancies

What the warehouse found when it checked this series: the same figure from two agencies, splice overlaps, published rates against ones recalculated from the index, and outliers.

  • Disagrees with itself5 Apr 2019

    The report of 5 Apr 2019 gives the previous day's price as 750; that day's own report gave 780.

    Price previous: 780 and 750, difference 0.038.

    CBSL/downloads/Statistics/Economic Indicators/Price Report/2019/price_report_20190405e - Daily Price Report - 05 April 2019.pdf: previous-day column = 750.0, but 2019-04-04's own figure = 780.0 (3.8% apart)

    The report's 'yesterday' column differs from the previous report's 'today' on 0.2% of comparisons in 2021-2026 (364 of 209,923) and 1.1% in 2019-2020 (357 of 33,249, clustered in a few reports whose 'yesterday' column restates a different day): CBSL correcting a price the next day, or a typo in one of the two. Which is right is not known; the observation is each day's own 'today'.
