The data frame c_cpi_u_monthly_nsa
contains not-seasonally adjusted monthly price index levels of the
Chained CPI-U (C-CPI-U). It has three columns:
numeric year
numeric calendar month (1-12)
value of the C-CPI-U price index
The data frame c_cpi_u_quarterly_nsa
contains not-seasonally adjusted quarterly price index levels of the
Chained CPI-U (C-CPI-U). It has three columns:
numeric year
numeric calendar quarter (1-4)
value of the C-CPI-U price index
The data frame c_cpi_u_annual contains the annual
price index level of the Chained CPI-U (C-CPI-U). It has two columns:
numeric year
value of the C-CPI-U price index
The monthly series cpi_u_monthly_nsa is taken from
https://www.bls.gov/cpi/.
The quarterly series cpi_u_quarterly_nsa series is the quarterly mean.
cpi_u_rs_monthly_nsa and cpi_u_rs_annual
for the CPI-U-RS, a CPI index that is consistently defined over time and goes
back to 1978.

The monthly, quarterly, or annual C-CPI-U series extended to 1937 through the present, based on CPI-U-RS, CPI-U, and CPI-U-X1.

The extended C-CPI-U series uses the C-CPI-U since 2000 and extends it retroactively by merging it to the CPI-U-RS (1978-1999), CPI-U-X1 (1967-1977), and CPI-U (1966 and before).
The data frames c_cpi_u_extended_monthly_nsa and
c_cpi_u_extended_monthly_sa contain, respectively, the
not-seasonally and seasonally adjusted price index levels of the
extended C-CPI-U. They have three columns:
numeric year
numeric calendar month (1-12)
value of the C-CPI-U extended price index
The data frames c_cpi_u_extended_quarterly_nsa and
c_cpi_u_extended_quarterly_sa are the quarterly versions of these
series. They have three columns:
numeric year
numeric calendar quarter (1-4)
value of the C-CPI-U extended price index
The data frame c_cpi_u_extended annual contains the annual
price index level of the extended C-CPI-U. It has two columns:
numeric year
value of the C-CPI-U extended price index
The seasonal adjustment in c_cpi_u_extended_monthly_sa is simply
a multiplication of the non-seasonally adjusted
c_cpi_u_extended_monthly_nsa values by the ratio of the
cpi_u_monthly_sa to cpi_u_monthly_nsa.
The quarterly c_cpi_u_extended_quarterly_nsa and c_cpi_u_extended_quarterly_sa
series are the quarterly means of their respective monthly series.
For annual statistics, the U.S. Census Bureau currently uses a similar combination of price indexes to extend the C-CPI-U: https://www.census.gov/topics/income-poverty/income/guidance/current-vs-constant-dollars.html.
