1. For annual data, the initial estimate is from the fourth quarter of the corresponding year, for quarterly data, it is the estimate first published for the corresponding quarter. The initial annual estimate is not the average of the initial quarterly estimates as the latter have already been revised by the time the initial annual estimate is released.

2. For 2006, 2007 and 2008, the previous estimate is the one released with the first quarter of 2009, while for 2009 it is from the fourth quarter issue of 2009.

3. The revised estimates are the result of the first quarter of 2010.

4. The current revision is the revised estimate less the previous estimate.

5. The cumulative revision is the revised estimate less the initial estimate.
