[]
[null,"Notes"]
[null,"Entitlement prices in the state government water registers can lag the exchange date of contracts or water sale agreements by periods of days to several months. This means the entitlement prices shown in the monthly and quarterly VWAPs may not reflect all exchanges during the month."]
[]
[null,"Entitlement prices that do not appear to reflect arm’s-length transactions have been excluded in the data cleaning process (see Appendix B). "]
[null,"Removing these values reduces price distortions in the reporting. This means prices in this report may differ from prices shown in registers where these transactions have not been removed."]
[]
[null,"Marsden Jacob uses a two-stage process to clean the data:"]
[null,"1.      Removing prices that may not be genuine; for example, removing transactions where the price was reported to be null ($0 per ML)"]
[null,"2.      Reviewing and potentially removing transactions outside two standard deviations from the average price of water entitlements by region (or trading zone) and by water product."]
[]
[null,"Marsden Jacob does not necessarily remove all trades that fall outside two standard deviations, as some of them reflect arm’s-length trades. If trades that fall outside two standard deviations are retained in the regional dataset, this is noted in the region and entitlement-specific reports. Also, trades that fall within two standard deviations but are removed because they are not considered representative on the basis of recent data trends are also noted in the region and entitlement-specific reports as well as Appendix B."]
