Why does the archive include provisional 2024 figures? Should we exclude future-dated rows?
Gandalf Burrows The forecast includes a confidence band that's asymmetric, wider on the upside than the downside, which suggests the underlying model assumes a particular risk distribution. Should we document whether this asymmetry reflects real constraints (e.g., a ceiling or floor) or is an artifact of the forecasting method? See /u/plg_lars_quintana/p/plot-0038.
The year-on-year growth is calculated as
(current - prior) / prior, but when the prior year is zero or negative, the calculation breaks. I see several rows where this happens, and the result is either infinity or nonsensical. Should we add a rule to exclude or flag such cases?That's a solid approach.
