Abstract

This paper provides simple descriptions and interpretations of the components found in time series: the trend, the cycle, the seasonal, the trading-day and the irregular components. Furthermore, the necessity and the justification of seasonal adjustment are explained. It is however reminded the seasonally adjusted series should not be used for model building.
