Concepts & Classifications Concepts & Classifications Aggregation & consolidation Aggregation & consolidationAt the top is the total value of products represented by the index (corresponding to the value aggregate as discussed in Chapters 4 and 15). This is progressively divided into finer product groupings, following the structure of the classification until, at the lowest level, there are samples of prices for individual products. These highly detailed price samples are called elementary aggregates. Indexes are only published down to the regimen item level as this is the level at which the structure and weights remain fixed between index reviews.
