The consensus figures are aggregated, publicly available forecasts collated exclusively by Vuma, but only on the basis of information submitted by those analysts who choose to participate. The consensus figure for a particular item represents the arithmetic mean of all figures for that item submitted to Vuma by analysts. No analyst who has updated and entered their estimate into Vuma has been excluded from the aggregate consensus figures, except for data that contains a manifest error. The figures are current as at the date specified on the Vuma website and are not updated after that date.
