Index, Not Seasonally Adjusted
Frequency:

Suggested Treatment:
The data shows seasonality. The data should be adjusted. While the Arcsin transformation, provides the best normality, the Boxcox variable will also perform well.
Grain Transformation:
Data is unable to be distributed by time or geography. The roll up method used is Weighted Average.
Auto Correlation Analysis:
Data does not show strong auto correlation indicating no need for differencing
The ACF indicates 0 order differencing is appropriate.
Following first order differencing, no further differencing is required based on the differenced ACF at lag one of -0.52
Trend Analysis:
The Kwiatkowski-Phillips-Schmidt-Shin (KPSS) test, KPSS Trend = 0.15 p-value = 0.04 indicates that the data is not stationary.
Distribution Analysis:
The Shapiro-Wilk test returned W = 0.93 with a p-value =0.49 indicating the data follows a normal distribution.
A skewness score of -0.46 indicates the data are fairly symmetrical.
Hartigan's dip test score of 0.13 with a p-value of 0.21 inidcates the data is unimodal
