READY SIGNAL CONTROL DATA

Natural Unemployment Rate: Long-term, Total US

Why Use This Data Source In Your Models?

The long-term natural rate of unemployment measures the rate of unemployment arising from all sources except fluctuations in aggregate demand. This indicates GDP levels and long-term economic health.

Automated Data Profiling

Ready Signal automatically profiles each data set and offers up suggested industry standard data science treatments to utilize with these data in your models.

Suggested Treatment:

The data shows auto correlation and a non-normal distribution. The data should be differenced. While the Arcsin transformation, provides the best normality, the Exponential 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.

Units:
Percent, Not Seasonally Adjusted

Frequency:

Suggested Treatment:

The data shows auto correlation and a non-normal distribution. The data should be differenced. While the Arcsin transformation, provides the best normality, the Exponential 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 shows auto correlation indicating a need for differencing

The ACF indicates 2 order differencing is appropriate.

Further differencing is reccommended

Trend Analysis:

The Kwiatkowski-Phillips-Schmidt-Shin (KPSS) test, KPSS Trend = 0.49 p-value = 0.01 indicates that the data is not stationary.

Distribution Analysis:

The Shapiro-Wilk test returned W = 0.94 with a p-value =0.00 indicating the data does not follow a normal distribution.

A skewness score of 0.36 indicates the data are fairly symmetrical.

Hartigan's dip test score of 0.02 with a p-value of 0.99 inidcates the data is unimodal
