[discount_rates_problem] [base_data]

Only one base experience has been used (see here).

For UK alone, I have looked at 3 different financial statistics series, covering all-share equities, long conventional gilts and long index-linked gilts. Each had a return over 1 year and a yield, making 6 so far. There are also 2 inflation series, over 1 year and over 15 years, making 8 in all. As RPI has a longer true data series than for CPI or CPIH, I have stuck with RPI (see here for comparisons).

The base data used are summarised for means and standard deviations.
