Dear All, Would anyone happen to have tips on how to do a pseudo-additive seasonal decomposition in R? I am working on a ca. 20 year monthly time series on species abundance data, with annual peaks of varying magnitude and zero abundances between the seasonal occurrences. I have tried to use the package "x12", which utilizes x12arima, but without luck so far. More specifically, I am trying to run the following code, using R version 2.15.0: Cx12 <- x12(Cyanea.ts, period=12, x12path="C:\\x12a.exe", use="x12", forecast_years=0, transform="none", x11regress=F, samode="pseudoadd", seasonalma="s3x3") Everything seems to run ok and a number of files get saved in the source directory and folder 'gra'. However, when I try to call the resulting object Cx12, e.g. with 'summary(Cx12)', I receive an "Error: object 'Cx12' not found". If anyone has a solution to the above problem, or alternative solutions to getting the decomposition done, I would much appreciate the help!
