Notes
This table decomposes updated forecasts of variables of interest from the news associated with each updated datapoint from the new data release.
This table does not summarize the impacts or show the effect of revisions. That information can be found in the impacts table.
This form of the details table is organized so that the impacted dates / variables are first in the index. This is convenient for slicing by impacted variables / dates to view the details of data updates for a particular variable or date.
However, since the forecast (prev) and observed columns have a lot of duplication, printing the entire table gives a result that is less easy to parse than that produced by the details_by_update property. details_by_update contains the same information but is organized to be more convenient for displaying the entire table of detailed updates. At the same time, details_by_update is less convenient for subsetting.
