is an option for InflationAdjust that specifies what time series data is to be used for adjustment in time.
InflationMethod
is an option for InflationAdjust that specifies what time series data is to be used for adjustment in time.
Details
- InflationMethod can be either a list of time-value pairs or a TemporalData object.
Examples
Basic Examples (2)
By default, InflationAdjust uses the Wolfram Knowledgebase CPI data for adjustment:
InflationAdjust[Quantity[120, DatedUnit["USDollars", 1982]]]With InflationMethoddata, one can specify custom CPI series as a basis for adjustment:
InflationAdjust[Quantity[120, DatedUnit["USDollars", 1982]], InflationMethod -> {{{1982, 1, 1}, 92.55}, {{1983, 1, 1}, 100.592}, {{1984, 1, 1}, 106.858}, {{1985, 1, 1}, 113.517}, {{1986, 1, 1}, 122.042}, {{1987, 1, 1}, 130.142}, {{1988, 1, 1}, 138.642}, {{1989, 1, 1}, 149.25}, {{1990, 1, 1}, 162.8}, {{1991, 1, 1}, 177.017}, {{1992, 1, 1}, 190.067}, {{1993, 1, 1}, 201.408}, {{1994, 1, 1}, 211.017}, {{1995, 1, 1}, 220.467}, {{1996, 1, 1}, 228.225}, {{1997, 1, 1}, 234.583}, {{1998, 1, 1}, 242.133}, {{1999, 1, 1}, 250.583}, {{2000, 1, 1}, 260.75}, {{2001, 1, 1}, 272.758}, {{2002, 1, 1}, 285.6}, {{2003, 1, 1}, 297.075}, {{2004, 1, 1}, 310.133}, {{2005, 1, 1}, 323.225}, {{2006, 1, 1}, 336.183}, {{2007, 1, 1}, 351.054}, {{2008, 1, 1}, 364.065}, {{2009, 1, 1}, 375.613}, {{2010, 1, 1}, 388.436}, {{2011, 1, 1}, 400.258}, {{2012, 1, 1}, 414.924}}]Related Workflows
