Notes on Supplemental Estimates
Please note that the Supplemental Estimates may return the following in place of data:
An '**' entry in the margin of error column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute a standard error and thus the margin of error. A statistical test is not appropriate.
An '-' entry in the estimate column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute an estimate, or a ratio of medians cannot be calculated because one or both of the median estimates falls in the lowest interval or upper interval of an open-ended distribution.
An '***' entry in the margin of error column indicates that the median falls in the lowest interval or upper interval of an open-ended distribution. A statistical test is not appropriate.
An '*****' entry in the margin of error column indicates that the estimate is controlled. A statistical test for sampling variability is not appropriate.
Notes on Annotation Values
Supplemental Estimates contain variables ending in E, EA, M and MA.
Variable Type |
Title |
Meaning |
E |
Estimate |
A numeric representation of the estimate. |
EA |
Estimate Annotation |
A character representation of the estimate. If an Estimate Annotation exists, use this value in place of the Estimate. |
M |
Margin of Error |
A numeric representation of the margin of error. |
MA |
Margin of Error Annotation |
A character representation of the margin of error. If a Margin of Error Annotation exists, use this value in place of the Margin of Error. |
