The February level of 212.193 (1982-84=100) was 0.2 percent higher than in February 2008. The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) increased 0.5 percent in February, prior to seasonal adjustment. The February level of 206.708 (1982-84=100) was 0.3 percent lower than in February 2008. The Chained Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (C-CPI-U) increased 0.6 percent in February on a not seasonally adjusted basis. The February level of 121.901 (December 1999=100) was 0.3 percent lower than in February 2008. Please note that the indexes for the post-2007 period are subject to revision. CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI-U increased 0.4 percent in February after rising 0.3 percent in January. The energy index rose 3.3 percent in February following a 1.7 percent increase in January as the gasoline index rose 8.3 percent in February after a 6.0 percent increase in January. In contrast, the indexes for fuel oil and natural gas both declined in February. About two-thirds of the all items increase was due to the rise in the gasoline index. Compared to the July 2008 peak, the energy index was 29.2 percent lower and the gasoline index was down 44.0 percent. The food index turned down slightly in February, falling 0.1 percent. The food at home index fell 0.4 percent with five of the six major grocery store food group indexes posting declines in February. The index for all items less food and energy rose 0.2 percent in February, the same (cont.) Table A.

The indexes for new vehicles and apparel increased substantially in February, and the indexes for rent and owners’ equivalent rent increased slightly. Partly offsetting these increases were continuing declines in the indexes for lodging away from home and airline fares. The food and beverages index declined 0.1 percent in February after rising 0.1 percent in January. The food at home index, which declined 0.1 percent in January, fell 0.4 percent in February. Within food at home, the dairy and related products index fell 2.4 percent in February, with the milk index declining 5.7 percent. The milk index has declined 10.0 percent over the past year. The fruits and vegetables index was the only major grocery store food group to post an increase, rising 0.4 percent in February after declining in each of the past five months. The other four groups posted modest declines, from 0.1 percent for the meats, poultry, fish and eggs index to 0.5 percent for the cereals and bakery products index. Over the last year the food at home index has risen 4.8 percent. Among the major grocery store food groups, the cereals and bakery products index had the largest increase over the past year at 8.9 percent, while dairy and related products was the only index to decline, falling 1.7 percent. Among the other indexes within the food and beverages major group, the food away from home index rose 0.3 percent in February, while the index for alcoholic beverages declined 0.2 percent, the first decline since December 2005. 1 CPI Detailed Report-February 2009 The housing index was virtually unchanged in February for the third straight month. The shelter index, which rose 0.2 percent in January, was virtually unchanged in February. The indexes for rent and owners’ equivalent rent both rose 0.1 percent in February after increasing 0.3 percent in January. The lodging away from home index fell 1.8 percent in February, the fifth straight monthly decline. It has declined 5.7 percent over the past year. The index for household energy fell 0.2 percent in February and was down 8.1 percent from its July peak. Within household energy, the index for fuel oil fell 3.8 percent and the index for natural gas declined 1.6 percent, while the electricity index rose 0.5 percent. The index for household furnishings and operations rose 0.2 percent in February after declining 0.1 percent in January.

The new and used motor vehicles index rose 0.5 percent in February. The new vehicles index increased 0.8 percent in February, while the index for used cars and trucks declined 1.7 percent. The motor fuel index rose 7.6 percent in February but was down 35.4 percent over the past year. The airline fare index fell in February for the sixth straight month, declining 2.6 percent, and has fallen 14.0 percent since August 2008. The transportation index has declined 11.0 percent over the past year. The apparel index rose 1.3 percent in February after increasing 0.3 percent in January. The index for men’s and boys’ apparel rose 2.8 percent and the index for women’s and girls’ apparel advanced 0.8 percent. (Before seasonal adjustment, apparel prices rose 3.5 percent in February and were up 0.8 percent over the past year.) Among other CPI groups, the medical care index rose 0.3 percent with the prescription drug index rising 0.6 percent. The index for recreation rose 0.4 percent as the indexes for toys, for sporting goods, and for pets, pet products and services all increased.

Shoemaker This article presents variance estimates for 1-month, 2-month, 6-month, and 12-month percent changes in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U). Variance is a measure of the uncertainty caused by the use of a sample of retail prices, instead of the complete universe of retail prices. The estimates cover the period January 2008 through December 2008.1 Each month the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics collects prices from a sample of approximately 82,500 commodities and services (C&S) quotes in approximately 26,000 outlets2 around the United States for the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The most commonly used measure of sampling variability is the standard error of the estimate – the square root of the variance. The standard error of the CPI’s change can be used to construct confidence intervals to determine whether the change for a particular CPI series is significantly different from zero. This information should help users determine which index changes are significant. Presentation of findings The percent changes in the CPI along with their standard errors were estimated for the 12 months from January through December 2008. In summary, tables 1V through 5V show the median values of those percent changes, as well as the median values of the standard errors. Table 1V shows this information for U.S. city average, and tables 2V through 5V show the same information for the Northeast, Midwest, South, and West regions of the country. For example, from January through December 2008, the 1-month changes in the U.S. city average all items index had a median value of 0.39 percent. The standard errors of those 12 estimates had a median value of 0.04 percent. Margins of error are usually expressed as a statistic’s point estimate plus or minus two standard errors, so the margin of error on this CPI’s 1-month change is approximately 0.39 percent plus or minus 0.08 percent. Therefore, in a typical 1-month period, the true change in the CPI was probably somewhere between 0.31 percent and 0.47 percent. The tables also show median percent changes and standard errors for 2- and 6-month intervals and for the full year 2008. Margins of error can be calculated for these intervals in the same way as for a 1-month period. Analysis of findings Analyzing the data reveals three significant observations. First, standard errors increase as one moves from the U.S. city average to individual regions of the country and from all items to individual item categories. Second, standard errors differ between item categories. Third, the standard errors decrease on a relative basis (standard error divided by price change), as the price change interval gets longer. The primary reason standard errors increase as one moves from the U.S. city average to individual regions of the country is that sample sizes differ. In general, smaller sample sizes lead to larger standard errors. For example, the U.S. city average all items index is computed each month from approximately 82,500 prices (including all Rent and REQ quotes) throughout the United States, and its median standard error for 1-month changes is 0.04 percent. By contrast, the Northeast region all items index is computed from approximately 17,500 prices, and its median standard error is 0.11 percent. Regional indexes have larger standard errors because their sample sizes are smaller. One can observe this same effect moving from the all items index to individual item categories. Again, the U.S. city average all items index is computed each month from approximately 82,500 prices, and its median 1month standard error is 0.04 percent. By contrast, the U.S. city average recreation index is computed from 1 In 1998 significant changes were made to the CPI’s structure and sample, and a new variance calculation system was implemented. For information on variances from 1978-1986, 1993-1997 and then 1998 and 1999, see the CPI Detailed Report for February 1991, May 1994, February 1998, December 1999, and November 2000, respectively. 2 In addition, BLS collects approximately 3,800 shelter quotes, used for both Rent and Rental Equivalence (REQ), each month. 4 CPI Detailed Report-February 2009 approximately 5,500 prices, and its median 1-month standard error is 0.12 percent, or roughly three times as large. Again, smaller sample sizes lead to larger standard errors. The second significant observation is that standard errors differ between item categories. There are two reasons for this. First, item categories differ in sample size. For example, the U.S. city average food and beverages index is computed from approximately 34,000 prices each month, while the U.S. city average recreation index is computed from approximately 5,500 prices. Therefore, it is not surprising that the recreation index has larger standard errors. Second, there are real differences in item category price behaviors caused by different selling practices, seasonal influences, and consumer demand. This is especially true for the apparel category, in which it is common for the prices of individual items to fluctuate by 50 percent or more each month. As a result, standard errors for apparel indexes are large. The third observation is that standard errors decrease, on a relative basis (standard error divided by price change), as the price change interval gets longer. For the U.S. city average all items index, the median standard error divided by the median percent change is 0.04/0.39 = 0.103 for 1-month changes, 0.06/0.61 = 0.098 for 2month changes, 0.09/2.44 = 0.037 for 6-month changes, and 0.11/4.10 = 0.027 for the 12-month change between December 2007 and December 2008. This shows that the relative accuracy of percent changes in the CPI generally improves as the price change interval gets longer. On an absolute basis, standard errors tend to increase, but at a decreasing rate. Findings presented here indicate that users should exercise caution when using CPI estimates to make inferences about index changes for relatively short time periods, for individual goods and services, or for local areas. The standard errors of those estimates may be on the same order of magnitude as the estimates themselves; and, thus, few inferences about them are reliable. Sources of error One way of analyzing the error in a survey estimate is to divide the total error into two sources: sampling error and non-sampling error. Sampling error is the uncertainty in the CPI caused by the fact that a sample of retail prices is used to compute the CPI, instead of using the complete universe of retail prices. Non-sampling error is the rest of the error. Non-sampling error includes things such as incorrect information given by survey respondents, data processing errors, and so forth. Non-sampling error arises regardless of whether data are collected from a sample of retail prices or from the complete universe. Another way of analyzing error is to divide it into variance and bias. The variance of the CPI is a measure of how close different estimates of the CPI would be to each other if it were possible to repeat the survey over and over using different samples. Of course, it is not feasible to repeat the survey multiple times, but statistical theory allows the CPI’s variance to be estimated anyway. A small variance, for example, indicates that multiple independent samples would produce values that are consistently very close to each other. Bias is the difference between the CPI’s expected value and its true value. A statistic may have a small variance but a large bias, or it may have a large variance but a small bias. For an index to be considered accurate, both its variance and bias need to be small. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) is constantly trying to reduce the error in the CPI. Variance and sampling error are reduced by using a sample of retail prices that is as large as possible, given resource constraints. BLS has developed a model that optimizes the allocation of resources by indicating the number of prices that should be observed in each geographic area and each item category, in order to minimize the variance of the U.S. city average all items index. BLS reduces non-sampling error through a series of computerized and professional data reviews, as well as through continuous survey process improvements and theoretical research. Replication and variance estimation An important advantage of using sampling is that the CPI’s variance can be estimated directly from the sample data. Starting in 1978, the CPI’s sample design has accommodated variance estimation by using two or more independent samples of items and outlets in each geographic area. This allows two or more statistically independent estimates of the index to be made. The independent samples are called replicates, and the set of all observed prices is called the full sample. BLS collects CPI data in 38 geographic areas across the United States. These areas consist of 31 selfrepresenting areas and 7 non-self-representing areas. Self-representing areas are large metropolitan areas, such as 5 CPI Detailed Report-February 2009 the Boston, St. Louis, and San Francisco metropolitan areas. Non-self-representing areas are collections of smaller metropolitan areas. For example, one non-self-representing area is a collection of 32 small metropolitan areas in the Northeast region (Buffalo, Hartford, Providence, Bangor, and others), of which 8 were randomly selected to represent the entire set. Within each of the 38 areas, price data are collected for 211 item categories called item strata. Together the 211 item strata cover all consumer purchases. Examples of item strata are bananas, women’s dresses, and electricity. Multiplying the number of areas by the number of item strata gives 8,018 (= 38 u 211) different area and item combinations for which price indexes need to be calculated. Separate price indexes are calculated for each one of these 8,018 area and item combinations. After all 8,018 of these basic-level indexes are calculated, they are aggregated to form higher-level indexes, using expenditure estimates from the Consumer Expenditure Survey as their weights. Examples of higher-level geographic areas are the four regions (Northeast, Midwest, South, and West); and examples of higher-level item categories are the eight major groups (food & beverages, housing, apparel, transportation, medical care, education and communication, recreation, and other goods and services). The highest level of geographic aggregation is the U.S. city average, and the highest level of item aggregation is all items. Variances are computed with a Stratified Random Groups Method, in which variances are computed separately for certain subsets of areas and items and are then combined to produce the variance of the entire area and item combination. Subsets of items are formed by the intersection of the item category with each of the eight major groups. Let CPI(A,I,f,t) denote the index value where A = area, I = item category, f indicates that it is the full-sample value, and t = month; and let CPI(A,I,f,t-k) denote the value of the same index in month = t-k. In general, the upper-case letter A denotes a set of areas, such as the Northeast or Midwest region of the country; and the uppercase letter I denotes a higher-level item category, such as all items or all items less food and energy. Also let CPI(A,I,r,t) and CPI(A,I,r,t-k) be the corresponding index values for replicate = r. Most areas have two replicates, but some have more. Then, the full-sample k-month percent change between months t-k and t is computed by dividing CPI(A,I,f,t) by CPI(A,I,f,t-k), subtracting 1, and multiplying by 100: PC ( A, I , f , t , t k ) § CPI ( A, I , f , t ) · ¨¨ 1¸¸ u 100 © CPI ( A, I , f , t k ) ¹ Every index has a weight W(A,I,f) or W(A,I,r) associated with it, which is used to combine the index with other indexes to produce indexes for larger geographic areas and larger item categories. For example, the weights are used to combine all 8,018 basic-level indexes into higher-level indexes such as the U.S. city average all items index. The product of an index and its weight is called a cost weight, CW(A,I,r,t) = CPI(A,I,r,t) u W(A,I,r), and is an estimate of the total cost in area = A for consumption of item category = I in month = t. For the Stratified Random Groups method used here, replicate percent changes are defined as follows: full sample cost weights are used for every geographic area within area = A except for one of the areas. In the omitted area, the full sample cost weight is replaced by a replicate cost weight. Let the lower case letter a denote one of the 38 basic-level areas included in area = A, and let the lower case letter i denote the intersection of item category = I with one of the 8 major groups. Then, the replicate percent change, for area = a, item subset = i, replicate = r, between months t-k and t, is computed as: PCS (a, i, r , t , t k ) § · CW ( A, I , f , t ) CW (a, i, f , t ) CW (a, i, r , t ) ¨¨ 1¸¸ u 100 © CW ( A, I , f , t k ) CW (a, i, f , t k ) CW (a, i, r , t k ) ¹ for self-representing areas. For non-self-representing areas, the replicate percent change, for area = a, item category = I, replicate = r, between months t-k and t, is computed as: PCN (a, I , r , t , t k ) § · CW ( A, I , f , t ) CW (a, I , f , t ) CW (a, I , r , t ) ¨¨ 1¸¸ u 100 © CW ( A, I , f , t k ) CW (a, I , f , t k ) CW (a, I , r , t k ) ¹ where: 6 CPI Detailed Report-February 2009 CW ( A, I , f , t ) ¦ ¦ CW (a, i, f , t ) a A CW ( A, I , f , t ) iI ¦ CW (a, I , f , t ) a A CW (a, I , f , t ) ¦ CW (a, i, f , t ) iI and likewise for replicates. The symbol “aA” means that the sum is over all basic-level areas within area = A, and the symbol iI means that the sum is over all item categories that are intersections of item category = I with a major group. Then, the variance is computed with the following Stratified Random Groups Variance Estimation Formula: Ra 1 2 V [ PC ( A, I , f , t , t k )] = ¦ ¦ PC S (a, i, r , t , t k ) PC ( A, I , t , t k ) ¦ i I a A S R a ( R a 1) r 1 + ¦ a A N Ra 1 PC N (a, I , r , t , t k ) PC ( A, I , t , t k ) ¦ R a ( R a 1) r 1 2 where S and N are the sets of all self-representing and non-self-representing areas in the CPI’s geographic sample, respectively; and AS and AN are the sets of all self-representing and non-self-representing areas within area = A. The number Ra is the number of replicates in area = a. Finally, the standard error of the percent change is computed by taking the square root of its variance: SE[ PC(A, I , f , t,t k) ] V[PC(A, I , f , t,t k)] .

NOTE: Local area indexes are byproducts of the national CPI program. Each local index has a smaller sample size than the national index and is, therefore, subject to substantially more sampling and other measurement error. As a result, local area indexes show greater volatility than the national index, although their long-term trends are similar. Therefore, the Bureau of Labor Statistics strongly urges users to consider adopting the national average CPI for use in their escalator clauses. NOTE: Index applies to a month as a whole, not to any specific date. 55 CPI Detailed Report-February 2009 Table 11.

NOTE: Local area indexes are byproducts of the national CPI program. Each local index has a smaller sample size than the national index and is, therefore, subject to substantially more sampling and other measurement error. As a result, local area indexes show greater volatility than the national index, although their long-term trends are similar. Therefore, the Bureau of Labor Statistics strongly urges users to consider adopting the national average CPI for use in their escalator clauses. NOTE: Index applies to a month as a whole, not to any specific date. 70 CPI Detailed Report-February 2009 Table 18.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) publishes CPIs for two population groups: (1) The CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W), which covers households of wage earners and clerical workers that comprise approximately 32 percent of the total population and (2) the CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) and the Chained CPI for All Urban Consumers (C-CPI-U), which cover approximately 87 percent of the total population and include, in addition to wage earner and clerical worker households, groups such as professional, managerial, and technical workers, the self-employed, short-term workers, the unemployed, and retirees and others not in the labor force. The CPIs are based on prices of food, clothing, shelter, and fuels, transportation fares, charges for doctors’ and dentists’ services, drugs, and other goods and services that people buy for day-to-day living. Prices are collected in 87 urban areas across the country from about 50,000 housing units and approximately 23,000 retail establishments—department stores, supermarkets, hospitals, filling stations, and other types of stores and service establishments. All taxes directly associated with the purchase and use of items are included in the index. Prices of fuels and a few other items are obtained every month in all 87 locations. Prices of most other commodities and services are collected every month in the three largest geographic areas and every other month in other areas. Prices of most goods and services are obtained through personal visits or telephone calls by BLS trained representatives. In calculating the index, price changes for the various items in each location are averaged together with weights that represent their importance in the spending of the appropriate population group. Local data are then combined to obtain a U.S. city average. For the CPI-U and CPI-W, separate indexes also are published by size of city, by region of the country, for cross-classifications of regions and population-size classes, and for 27 local areas. Area indexes do not measure differences in the level of prices among cities; they measure only the average change in prices for each area since the base period. For the C-CPI-U, data are issued only at the national level. It is important to note that the CPI-U and CPI-W are considered final when released, but the C-CPI-U is issued in preliminary form and is subject to two annual revisions. The index measures price change from a designated reference date. For the CPI-U and the CPI-W, the reference base is 1982–84 = 100.0. The reference base for the C-CPI-U is December 1999=100.0. An increase of 16.5 percent from the reference base, for example, is shown as 116.5. This change also can be expressed in dollars as follows: the price of a base-period market basket of goods and services in the CPI has risen from $10 in 1982–84 to $11.65. For further details, visit the CPI homepage on the Internet at http://www.bls.gov/cpi or contact our CPI Information and Analysis Section at (202) 691-7000. Calculating index changes Movements of the indexes from one month to another usually are expressed as percent changes, rather than changes in index points, because index point changes are affected by the level of the index in relation to its base period, whereas percent changes are not. The example shown in the box on this page illustrates the computation of index point and percent changes. Percent changes for 3-month and 6-month periods are expressed as annual rates and are computed according to the standard formula for compound growth rates. These data indicate what the percent change would be if the current rate were maintained for a 12-month period.

The Northeast--Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Vermont. The Midwest--Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. The South--Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia. The West--Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. Energy prices Prices usually are available for the U.S. city average, 13 large metropolitan areas, the 4 census regions, 3 size classifications, and 10 areas reflecting the 4 census regions cross-classified by the 3 population sizes. However, not all energy commodities and services are used in every area of the country. Fuel oil, for example, is not a common heating fuel in some urban areas, particularly in the South and West. Where no average prices are available, the designation NA appears. This designation also appears if the data sufficiency criteria have not been met in any given month. For example, if there are fewer than five usable fuel oil prices for a published city or region size class, no fuel oil prices for the area will be published. All prices are collected monthly by BLS representatives in the urban areas priced for the CPI. Prices for natural gas and electricity include fuel and purchased gas adjustments and all applicable taxes. Fuel oil and gasoline prices include applicable Federal, State, and local taxes. Natural gas and electricity. Natural gas prices are reported in therms, which are a measure of heating value. Electricity prices are given in kilowatt hours (kwh). For both utility services, the consumption ranges specified in table P2 are the upper and lower limits of the bill sizes priced for the CPI. The average prices per therm and per kilowatt hour are calculated from bills priced within these ranges. It should be noted that bills priced for the CPI not only are for different consumption amounts, but may also be calculated from different types of residential rate schedules. The average prices per therm and per kilowatt hour are not, therefore, generally suitable for use in place-to-place price comparisons. The average prices for 40 and 100 therms of natural gas, and for 500 kilowatt hours of electricity (shown in table P1) are calculated from a special price collection program. They are not used in the calculation of the CPI. Because heating and air-conditioning requirements vary by geographic location, climate, and weather conditions, it cannot be inferred that these consumption amounts represent those used by a typical residential consumer. These bills are used merely to track price changes over time for constant amounts of consumption, and to provide continuity with prices of natural gas and electricity formerly published in conjunction with the unrevised CPI. Fuel oil. Only #2 fuel oil (home heating oil) is priced. (See table P1.) Prices are collected, in most cases, for quantities greater than 1 gallon. These prices are converted to a gallon price for this program. Fuel oil prices reflect discounts for quantity or quick payment. Gasoline and automotive diesel fuel. Gasoline and diesel prices, shown in table P3, are collected at the pump from a sample of full service, miniservice, and self-service gas stations. Approximate British Thermal Unit (BTU) values for some energy items are as follows, according to the source indicated: 1 therm = 100,000 BTUs (U.S. Department of Energy) 1 kwh = 3,412 BTUs (Edison Electric Institute) 1 gallon #2 fuel oil = 140,000 BTUs (U.S. Department of Energy) Food and beverage prices Actual weighted average prices for food and beverages are calculated each month at the national level and for the four census geographic regions, as shown in table P4. As a result of changes in price collection methodology and sample sizes, average prices for individual cities cannot, in general, be produced. It is hoped, however, that regional average prices will help to satisfy the need for local area data. It should be noted that the average prices for food in this report reflect variations in brand, quality, and size among geographic areas. Users of average food prices should be aware that these differences exist. Because a number of food commodities are not available in all areas on a year-round basis, prices will not appear in some months for some regions or for the U.S. city average. In other instances, sufficient prices may not be available due to temporary 129 CPI Detailed Report-February 2009 disruptions in supplies. Where no average prices are available, the designation NA appears. When a price is not available from an individual store in any month, an estimated price will be calculated for the missing item and used in computing the average price. For cases in which the proportion of estimated prices used to calculate the average is considered too high, the average price is not published, and NA appears for that item in the table. Because of space limitations in the table, the description for each item is abbreviated. Detailed specifications are available from BLS information offices or from the Washington office, upon request. Seasonally adjusted and unadjusted data Because price data are used for different purposes by different groups, the Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes seasonally adjusted as well as unadjusted changes each month. For analyzing general price trends in the economy, seasonally adjusted changes are usually preferred since they eliminate the effect of changes that normally occur at the same time and in about the same magnitude every year--such as price movements resulting from changing climatic conditions, production cycles, model changeovers, holidays, and sales. The unadjusted data are of primary interest to consumers concerned about the prices they actually pay. Unadjusted data also are used extensively for escalation purposes. Many collective bargaining contract agreements and pension plans, for example, tie compensation changes to the Consumer Price Index before adjustment for seasonal variation. Seasonal factors used in computing the seasonally adjusted indexes are derived by the X-12-ARIMA Seasonal Adjustment Method. Seasonally adjusted indexes and seasonal factors are computed annually. Each year, the last 5 years of seasonally adjusted data are revised. Data from January 2003 through December 2007 were replaced in January 2008. Exceptions to the usual revision schedule were: the updated seasonal data at the end of 1977 replaced data from 1967 through 1977; and, in January 2002, dependently seasonally adjusted series were revised for January 1987-December 2001 as a result of a change in the aggregation weights for dependently adjusted series. For further information, please see “Aggregation of Dependently Adjusted Seasonally Adjusted Series,” in the October 2001 issue of the CPI Detailed Report. The seasonal movement of All items and 54 other aggregations is derived by combining the seasonal movement of 73 selected components. Each year the seasonal status of every series is reevaluated based upon certain statistical criteria. If any of the 73 components change their seasonal adjustment status from seasonally adjusted to not seasonally adjusted, not seasonally adjusted data will be used in the aggregation of the dependent series for the last 5 years, but the seasonally adjusted indexes will be used before that period. Note: 48 of the 73 components are seasonally adjusted for 2008. Seasonally adjusted data, including the All items index levels, are subject to revision for up to five years after their original release. For this reason, BLS advises against the use of these data in escalation agreements. Effective with the calculation of the seasonal factors for 1990, the Bureau of Labor Statistics has used an enhanced seasonal adjustment procedure called Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustment for some CPI series. Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustment allows for better estimates of seasonally adjusted data. Extreme values and/or sharp movements which might distort the seasonal pattern are estimated and removed from the data prior to calculation of seasonal factors. Beginning with the calculation of seasonal factors for 1996, X-12-ARIMA software was used for Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustment. For the seasonal factors introduced in January 2008, BLS adjusted 20 series using Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustment, including selected food and beverage items, motor fuels, electricity and vehicles. For example, this procedure was used for the Motor fuel series to offset the effects of events such as damage to oil refineries from Hurricane Katrina. For a complete list of Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustment series and explanations, please refer to the article “Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustment”, located on our website at: http://www.bls.gov/cpi/cpisapage.htm.
