Suggested Treatment:
The data shows auto correlation and a non-normal distribution. The data should be differenced. While the Order Norm transformation, provides the best normality, the Yeo Johnson variable will also perform well.
Grain Transformation:
Data is able to be distributed by geography but not by time. The roll up method used is Sum.
Auto Correlation Analysis:
Data shows auto correlation indicating a need for differencing
The ACF indicates 1 order differencing is appropriate.
Further differencing is reccommended
Trend Analysis:
The Kwiatkowski-Phillips-Schmidt-Shin (KPSS) test, KPSS Trend = 0.09 p-value = 0.10 indicates that the data is stationary.
Distribution Analysis:
The Shapiro-Wilk test returned W = 0.77 with a p-value =0.00 indicating the data does not follow a normal distribution.
A skewness score of -2.43 indicates the data are substantially skewed.
Hartigan's dip test score of 0.02 with a p-value of 0.96 inidcates the data is unimodal
