EDA Peak Is Not Latest - Time Series Mechanics

Read the Dots

First read the five clean dots without labels. Then compare the flagged version: peak marks the highest dot, while latest marks the final time point. The conclusion is intentionally small. The peak is Thu = 10, and the latest point is Fri = 8, so the newest value is not the highest value.

A tiny EDA readout: draw the same clean points first, then flag the peak and latest point to avoid mixing up two different questions.

highlighted = computed this step

Load the clean rows

Start with 5 already-clean observations.

\text{clean observations}

Draw the points

Draw all 5 dots before naming any winner.

\text{all points first}

Flag peak and latest

Flag Thu = 10 as the peak and Fri = 8 as the latest point.

\text{peak and latest readouts}

Answer the EDA question

Conclusion: the peak is Thu = 10, while the latest point is Fri = 8.
