Based on all-time mean agreement, this item ranks 122 out of 142 qualifying items and is at the 14.2 percentile.
Qualifying items have 100 or more total observations. Higher means indicate more agreement and therefore a higher rank.
The daily slope annualized over 365.25 days is -0.905 points per year, with a 95% confidence interval of [-2.243, 0.434]. This short-window annualized number is provided for reference, but the observed-period change above is the primary trend estimate.
