Where can the data take you? All over the world!
GeoFRED® allows you to create, customize, and share geographical maps of data found in FRED®. Easily access the details and adjust how the data are displayed. You can also transform the data and download it according to geographic category and time frame.
Units Formulas
The following formulas are used to transform units:
Change
x(t) - x(t-1)
Change from Year Ago
x(t) - x(t-n_obs_per_yr)
Percent Change
((x(t)/x(t-1)) - 1) * 100
Percent Change from Year Ago
((x(t)/x(t-n_obs_per_yr)) - 1) * 100
Compounded Annual Rate of Change
(((x(t)/x(t-1)) ** (n_obs_per_yr)) - 1) * 100
Continuously Compounded Rate of Change
(ln(x(t)) - ln(x(t-1))) * 100
Continuously Compounded Annual Rate of Change
((ln(x(t)) - ln(x(t-1))) * 100) * n_obs_per_yr
Natural Log
ln(x(t))
Notes:
'x(t)' is the value of series x at time period t.
'n_obs_per_yr' is the number of observations per year. The number of observations per year differs by frequency:
| Frequency | Observations per Year |
|---|---|
| Daily | 260 (no values on weekends) |
| Annual | 1 |
| Monthly | 12 |
| Quarterly | 4 |
| Biweekly | 26 |
| Weekly | 52 |
'ln' represents the natural logarithm.
'**' represents to the power of.
