[R] Package x12 (X-12-ARIMA Seasonal Adjustment Program)
Hi:
I use R 2.15.0 and RStudio 0.95.265. Platform: Windows 7 - 32b
When I predict some series with the x12 package (Version Number 0.3 Build
192) with the code...
forec <- x12(serie, x12path="D:/WinX12/X12a/x12a.exe", decimals=5,
automdlT, outlier="all")
... where "serie" is this "ts object":
> serie
