The goal of deseats is to provide several methods to decompose seasonal time series. Among them is a new fully data-driven algorithm called DeSeaTS (deseasonalize time series) for locally weighted regression with an automatically selected bandwidth. DeSeaTS accounts for possible short-range dependence in the underlying error process. Furthermore, the base model of the BV4.1 (Berlin Procedure 4.1) can be considered as well. Permission to include the BV4.1 base model procedure was kindly provided by the Federal Statistical Office of Germany.
You can install the current version of the package from CRAN with:
install.packages("deseats")
This is a basic example which shows you how to decompose a seasonal time series using the DeSeaTS algorithm:
library(deseats)
### Locally weighted regression with automatically selected bandwidth
### (here: local cubic trend)
<- deseats(NOLABORFORCE, set_options(order_poly = 3))
est @bwidth # The automatically selected bandwidth
est#> [1] 0.1968428
### Plot of the results
plot(est, which = 1, xlab = "Year")
A seasonal adjustment can subsequently be easily achieved using implemented methods.
<- deseasonalize(est)
adj plot(adj, xlab = "Year", main = "The seasonally adjusted series")
If a decomposition via the DeSeaTS algorithm is suitable, the residual series can be further analyzed using autoregressive moving-average (ARMA) models.
<- s_semiarma(NOLABORFORCE, set_options(order_poly = 3))
model
model#>

#> s.e. 0.0387
#>
#> sigma^2 estimated as 0.07454: log likelihood = -43.77, aic = 91.54
The complete model can then be used for forecasting the seasonal time series. Forecasting intervals can be obtained either through the normality assumption or via a bootstrap.
<- predict(model, n.ahead = 12, method = "norm")
fc plot(fc, xlab = "Year", main = "A forecasting example")
The linear locally weighted regression filters can be quickly displayed in the frequency domain.
<- seq(0, 0.5, 1e-04) # Frequencies
fr <- gain(est, lambda = fr) # Obtain correspondiong gain function values
g_funs <- g_funs$gain_deseason # Gain function values for deseasonalization
g_deseas
<- length(g_deseas[, 1])
l <- g_deseas[(l - 1) / 2 + 1, ] # middle point filter weights
weights_interior
plot(fr, weights_interior, type = "l", xlab = "Frequency", ylab = "Gain",
main = "Middle point filter in the frequency domain")
The provided decomposition methods can also be applied interactively. Run the following code.
runDecomposition()
This starts a shiny app which lets you load data files, decompose the time series saved therein, and download the decomposed data.
The main functions of the package are:
deseats()
: locally weighted regression with
automatically selected bandwidth for decomposition,
BV4.1()
: BV4.1 base model for
decomposition,
lm_decomp()
: ordinary least squares for
decomposition,
llin_decomp
: local linear regression for
decomposition,
ma_decomp()
: moving averages for
decomposition,
hamilton_filter()
: the time series filter by
Hamilton.
The package, however, provides many other useful functions for you to discover.
The package contains several seasonal example time series from official sources.
