Seasonal Adjustment for Monetary Base Data
February 2, 2007
Bank of Japan
The Bank of Japan has revised the seasonally adjusted Monetary Base Data.
Having obtained the data for the whole year 2006, we have reselected the most suitable ARIMA models applied for individual series.
Information on the seasonal adjustment is as follows.
| The models adopted for each indicator are shown below:
1) The Bureau of Census X-12-ARIMA method, Final version is used.
2) A logarithmic transformation is adopted for every series. 3) The critical value for Additive Outliers and Temporary changes depend on the length of the time-series data. The periods of data used for seasonal adjustment are those from the beginning of data compilation to December 2006. For the months after Decemer 2006, seasonally adjusted figures are calculated by applying the predicted seasonal facters. |
