Detailed Tables (Base Tables) • Basic distributions of characteristics • The foundation upon which other data products are built • Show estimates with its margin of error. By adding and subtracting the margin of error from the point estimate, you produce the range around it called the confidence interval. (there is 90% certainty that the true answer lies within the listed upper and lower percentages).
Standard Error of Estimate CV = Estimate Detailed Tables are Subject to Filtering The 1-year and 3-year detailed tables are not published (i.e., filtered out) if the median coefficient of variation (CV) for the table is .61 or higher.
The Detailed Tables are the Foundation on Which the Rest of the Data Products are Built
