This measures the values of the Arkansas Tech Business Index for the current year, with respect to past yearly values after having gone through a regression for the current month. These values for the year are calculated by taking the Arkansas Tech Business Index values for each month in a year, and then averaging them. In the “Change from 12 Months Prior” columns, it shows how much of an increase or decrease of the Arkansas Tech Business Index for its respective city has occurred, compared to twelve months prior. The “Change from 12 Months Prior” columns do not reflect the change from the average values of the year, but from the change of monthly values one year ago compared to the current month.
