Autocorrelations
r1 indicates how successive values of Y
relate to each other,
r2 indicates how Y values two periods
apart relate to each other,
and so on.
Zt – r Zt–r = r wt–r
r=1 r=0
where again wt is white noise
Zt = wt – Θr wt-r
where 1 , . . . , P and Θ1 , … , ΘQ are fixed
constants, {wt} is white noise, and S is the
frequency of the series (12 for monthly or 4 for
quarterly)

Diagnostics and Graphs
How are component estimates
formed?
X-11, X-12: limited set of fixed filters
ARIMA Model-based (AMB):
● Fit ARIMA model to series
● This model, plus assumptions, determine
component models
● Signal extraction to produce component
estimates and mean squared errors (MSE)
