Abstract

New developments such as the fractional airline model and the flexibilisation of several seasonal adjustment methods allowed us to redesign the DSA approach. Version 2 of DSA now includes an X-11 and a SEATS-type decomposition, automatic choices for seasonal filters and new diagnostics. Here, we will discuss the details of the DSA2 procedure, including how design choices and default settings have been tested and determined.
