3 A ime series is ypically decomposed ino four componens: () easonal componen ( ); () Trend componen (T ); () Cyclical componen (C ); () Irregular componen (I ). The rend and cyclical componens are ofen difficul o separae excep in he long run. (ee he figures on he following page.) For his reason, he rend and cyclical componens are ofen combined ino one componen - he Trend/Cycle componen (TC ). Two ypes of models are used for seasonal decomposiion: () Addiive model: y = T C I or y = TC I () Muliplicaive model: y = T C I or y = TC I We will discuss muliplicaive models since hese are ypically he models ha are used in pracice. Muliplicaive models are used when here is increasing volailiy such as in he sales daa from The Gap (see page ). The reason for he increasing volailiy in ales for The Gap is ha ales grow abou 0% on average beween he hird and fourh quarer every year. A he beginning of he series, where ales are approximaely $00 million, a 0% change in ales from he hird o fourh quarer gives a change of (0.0)($00m) = $0m. A he end of he series, where ales are approximaely $,000 million (i.e. $ billion), a 0% change in ales gives a change of (0.0)($,000m) = $00m.

6 Classical easonal Decomposiion for he Muliplicaive Model: y = TC I From here on, he Trend/Cycle componen will be denoed T (raher han TC ). Four eps in a Classical easonal Decomposiion Procedure for a Muliplicaive Model () Compue an iniial esimae of he Trend/Cycle componen T (he esimae is denoed Tˆ ) using he cenered moving average Tˆ = 0.5y - 0.5y - 0.5y 0.5y 0.5y. () Compue y ˆ. This is an esimae of he I componens. T () Compue an esimae of (denoed Ŝ ) by averaging he esimaes of he I componens across corresponding quarers o average ou he I componens. For example, for quarerly daa, he I erm is averaged across all he firs quarers, all he second quarers, ec. () easonally adjus he original daa using y ˆ. 6

7 Imporan Quesion Regarding ep : How good an esimae is Tˆ of T? To answer his quesion, firs consider annual (simulaed) daa wih no seasonaliy. Therefore, he model is y = T I. Row A B C D Year Trend T Irregular I Daa=Trend*Irregular y = T I

8 Trend Componen Irregular Componen Daa = Trend*Irregular

9 To ge an esimae of T we will compue a weighed moving average of he y s o average ou he I componens. In paricular, Tˆ = 0.5y - 0.5y - 0.5y 0.5y 0.5y. uppose for he momen here is no irregular componen (i.e. I = in each period ). As shown below, even wih no irregular componen I we canno recover T exacly, alhough we can come very close. Row A B C D E Year Trend T Irregular I Daa = Trend*Irregular y = T I = T () = T Trend Esimae Tˆ = 0.5y - 0.5y - 0.5y 0.5y 0.5y = 0.5*D 0.5*D 0.5*D 0.5*D5 0.5*D

10 Now consider he acual daa y = T I. As shown below, we canno recover T exacly because of he variabiliy in he I componen. Row A B C D E Year Trend T Irregular I Daa=Trend*Irregular y = T I Trend Esimae Tˆ = 0.5y - 0.5y - 0.5y 0.5y 0.5y 0.80 = 0.5*D 0.5*D 0.5*D 0.5*D5 0.5*D

11 Trend Daa=Trend*Irregular Trend There are wo sources of esimaion error when esimaing T : () Even wih no irregular componen he weighed moving average canno recover T exacly (his is ypically a very small source of error). The only ime T can be recovered exacly is when T = α β (i.e. he rend is linear). () The I componen canno be compleely averaged ou wih a shor weighed moving average. The size of he esimaion error due o I depends on how much variabiliy here is in I (i.e. i depends on wha he variance of I is).

12 Now consider esimaing T in a full seasonal model (using simulaed quarerly daa). The model is y = T I. Row A B C D E F Time Quarer Trend easonal Irregular Daa=Trend*easonal*Irregular T I y = T I Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr

13 Trend Componen easonal Componen Irregular Componen Daa = Trend*easonal*Irregular

14 To ge an esimae of he T componen we will compue a weighed moving average of y o average ou he and I componens: Tˆ = 0.5y - 0.5y - 0.5y 0.5y 0.5y. uppose for he momen here is no seasonal or irregular componen (i.e. = and I = in each period ). As shown below, even wih no irregular componen I we canno recover T exacly, alhough we can come very close. Row A B C D E F G Quarer Time Trend T easonal Irregular I Daa = Trend*easonal*Irregular y = T I Trend Esimae- No easonal Or Irregular Comp Tˆ = 0.5y - 0.5y Qr Qr y 0.5y 0.5y = 0.5*F 0.5*F 0.5*F 0.5*F5 0.5*F6 5 Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr

15 Now suppose here is a seasonal componen bu no irregular componen (i.e. I = in each period so y = T ). As shown below, we can obain an accurae (bu no perfec) esimae of T. Row A B C D E F G Quarer Time Trend T easonal Irregular I Daa = Trend*easonal*Irregular y = T I Trend Esimae- No Irregular Componen Tˆ = 0.5y - 0.5y Qr Qr y 0.5y 0.5y = 0.5*F 0.5*F 0.5*F 0.5*F5 0.5*F6 5 Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr

16 Now consider he full model y = T I. If he variabiliy in I is no large we can obain a fairly accurae esimae of T. Row A B C D E F G Quarer Time Trend T easonal Irregular I Daa = Trend*easonal*Irregular y = T I Qr Qr Trend Esimae Tˆ = 0.5y - 0.5y - 0.5y 0.5y 0.5y = 0.5*F 0.5*F 0.5*F 0.5*F5 0.5*F6 5 Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr Qr

17 If he variabiliy in I is large, his makes i more difficul o obain an accurae esimae of T.
