Explanation: One comes across certain other kinds of data, too, in day-to-day government economic literature. There are three such data—

• Revised Estimate (RE) Revised Estimate is basically a current estimation of either the budgetary estimates (BE) or the provisional estimates (PE). It shows the contemporary situation. It is interim data.
• Quick Estimate (QE) Quick Estimate is a kind of revised estimate which shows the latest situation and is useful in the process of going for future projections for some sector or sub-sector. It is interim data.
• Advance Estimate (AE) Advance Estimate is a kind of quick estimate but done ahead (is advance) of the final stage when data should have been collected. It is interim data.
