= Chain linking
{wiki=Chain_linking}
Chain linking is a method used in various fields, primarily in economic statistics and time series analysis, to connect different data points or measurements over time to create a more continuous series of data. It allows for the adjustment of data to reflect changes in price levels or quantities, enabling better comparisons across different periods. In the context of economics, chain linking often refers to the way that real GDP (Gross Domestic Product) or other economic indicators are calculated to account for inflation.
