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 itself
This series and the same figure from another source differ over the period they share. Compared with
LK.RATE.AWPR.CBSL_TABLE.M.Two agencies: , difference −0.079.
AWPR: table4.04 vs Data Library LK.RATE.AWPR.M, not merged - 77 of 156 shared months differ by more than max(0.5%, 0.05pp), mean diff -0.079pp, worst +3.550pp in 2022-04.
The Library's monthly figure is confirmed to be the average of its own weekly AWPR readings; table4.04's column does not follow any of the simple rules tried (first week, last week, plain average) on the months where it disagrees, so which compilation is 'right' cannot be established from within the warehouse. Both are kept.
