deccensus {pastecs}

Time decomposition using the CENSUS II method

Description

The CENSUS II method allows to decompose a regular time series into a trend, a seasonal component and residuals, according to a multiplicative model

Usage

deccensus(x, type="multiplicative", trend=FALSE)

Arguments

x

A single regular time serie (a 'rts' object under S+ and a 'ts' object under R) with a "years" time scale (one unit = one year) and a complete number of cycles (at least 3 complete years)

type

The type of model. This is for compatibility with other decxxx() functions, but only a multiplicative model is allowed here

trend

If trend=TRUE a trend component is also calculated, otherwise, the decomposition gives only a seasonal component and residuals

Details

The trend component contains both a general trend and long-term oscillations. The seasonal trend may vary from year to year. For a seasonal decomposition using an additive model, use decloess() instead

Value

a 'tsd' object
