Here's a quick reference for common statistical terms on MacroMicro charts:
・SA (Seasonal Adjustment): A statistical method that removes seasonal effects from data
・NSA (Non-Seasonally Adjusted): Raw data without seasonal adjustment
・SAAR (Seasonally Adjusted Annual Rate): Seasonally adjusted data expressed as an annualized rate
・YoY (Year over Year): Growth rate compared to the same period last year
・MoM (Month over Month): Growth rate compared to the previous month
・QoQ (Quarter over Quarter): Growth rate compared to the previous quarter
・CA (Calendar Adjustment): Adjustment to account for differences in the number of working or holiday days across months
If no label is shown, the data is typically unadjusted (NSA).
What do SA, NSA, SAAR, YoY, MoM, QoQ, and CA mean on charts?
