Material for USCB Class on Seasonal Adjustment taught in Costa Rica 2019
This repo contains:
\data : all the data files needed for the course exercises.
\slides : the course slides
\software : three of the subfolders are programs we'll use in class -- Win X-13, X-13-Graph, and Genhol. The subfolders R seasonal and X13 Documentation include the manuals for X-13 and the R seasonal program, and some other useful documents.
\worksheets : The exercises we'll complete in class. If you want to print them out, only the .doc/.docx files should be printed; the Excel exercise is a computer exercise and does not need to be printed.
Finally, the course syllabus is included in the folder.
I recommend that everyone create a folder C:\X13 and save everything in the repository there.
People will be able to do all the exercises with Census software -- Win X-13, X-13-Graph, and Genhol. If they want, they can instead do most of them in R (one is not available in R). If they want to use R (and it isn't necessary, so people who are not familiar with it do not need to use it), then they should also have R installed on their computers and should run:
install(seasonal)
install(shiny)
install(seasonalview)
