Yes we can! Very nice,
Hi
Set the smoothing to 0 and it clears up this problem. The default smoothing
from your link was 10 years, which would carry backwards into 1990s. Playing
around with different smoothing ranges and end of time period produces some
variability in end pattern.
Take care

How bizarre! If you run it to 2000, the Freud line goes upwards to the
very end. But if you run it to 2008, it begins to drop off at about
1990. Some sort of complex, I'd say. :-)

Shameless promotion of a book written by a former colleague of mine that is
excellent. He interviewed Skinner up to a short time before Skinner's death.
Perhaps some of you have seen this...anyhow it's a nice, humorous change
from the recent nastiness on TIPS ("Come on, people, can we all get
