differencing
Finding successive differences
Differencing is the process of calculating or highlighting differences between things.
In data analysis and statistics, differencing transforms a time series by computing the change between consecutive values, often to remove trends or make data stationary.
In version control and file comparison, differencing identifies what changed between two versions of a document or codebase.
The analyst applied differencing to the sales data to eliminate seasonal patterns.
