DATA QUALITY

When interpreting the experimental estimates in this publication, it is important to take into account factors that may affect the reliability of the experimental estimates. The quality of the experimental estimates can be limited by:

the validity of the assumptions underpinning the modelling
the accuracy of the data used in the production of experimental estimates

The methodology used here is also limited by necessary restrictions in the scope of the industries adjusted. Off-June adjustments have not been applied to Agriculture, forestry and fishing and Public administration and safety (ANZSIC Divisions A and O respectively) as QBIS does not collect information from these industries and factors were not able to be produced. Data collected in EAS suggest that the effect of off-June reporting is minor in these industries. Financial and insurance services (ANZSIC Division K) has also been excluded as it is not collected by the EAS.
