The United States Census Bureau released a new version of X-13ARIMA-SEATS that integrates X-12-ARIMA with TRAMO-SEATS. This paper compares a seasonal adjusted series from X-13ARIMA-SEATS and those from X-12-ARIMA. An X11 filter and SEATS filter were used for the X-13ARIMA-SEATS. The result of the comparison suggests that seasonal adjusted series using X-13ARIMA-SEATS with the X11 filter are similar to those of X-12-ARIMA.

To compile seasonally-adjusted statistics for Korean economic statistics accurately. it is necessary to develop a Korean seasonal adjustment program. In this paper. the Korean seasonal adjustment program BOK-X-12-ARIMA, developed through modification of the US. Bureau of the Census's X-12-ARIT\IA, is explained in detail.

X11ARIMA is established on the basis of X11 which is one of smoothing approach in time series area and this procedure was introduced by Bureau of Census of United States and developed by Dagum(1975). This procedure had been updated and adjusted by Dagum(1988) with 174 economic index of North America and has been used until nowadays. Recently, X12ARIMA procedure has been studied by William Bell et.al. (1995) and Chen. & Findly(1995) whose approaches adapt adjusting outliers, Trend-change effects, seasonal effect, arid Calender effect. However, both of these procedures were implemented for correct adjusting the economic index of North America. This article starts with providing some appropriate and effective ARIMA model for 102 indexes produced by national statistical office in Korea; which consists of production(21), shipping(27), stock(27), and operating rate index(21). And a reasonable smoothing method will be proposed to reflect the specificity of Korean economy using several moving average model. In addition, Sulnal(lunar happy new year) and Chusuk effects will be extracted from the indexes above and both of effects reflect contribution of lunar calender effect. Finally, we will discuss an alternative way to estimate holiday effect which is similar to X12ARIMA procedure in concept of using both of ARIMA model and Regression model for the best fitness.

BOK-X12-ARIMA has been developed by the Bank of Korea in order to accomodate special features such as lunar effect, labor day and election effect which are intrinsic in Korean seasonal time series. Irregular component resulting from BOK-X12-ARIMA is usually treated as white noise time series. If this shows dependency structure, it may be advisable to incorporate dependency in irregular component into prediction. This article illustrates how to refine point forecast using dependency structure in irregular component.

When using X-12-ARIMA for seasonal adjustment, we usually check whether the series has stable seasonality or not via D8 F-tests, Kruskal-Wallis test, and the spectral diagnostics. In this paper, we develop several smooth tests for seasonality based on a Fourier series to improve the spectral diagnostics of X-12-ARIMA. A simulation study is conducted to compare five smooth tests for seasonality and X-12-ARIMA's D8 F-test an Kruskal-Wallis test. The simulation study shows that smooth tests for seasonality performed well compared with D8 F-tests and a Kruskal-Wallis test.

계절변동조정방법인 X-12-ARIMA방법을 이용할 때에는 우리 실정에 적합한 옵션을 선택하고, 우리만에 특수한 명절과 조업일수영향을 사전에 조정해야한다. 본고에서는 명절과 조업일수영향을 측정하는 모형을 설정하고, 이것으로 추정된 사전조정요인을 원계열에서 제거했을 때 계절변동 및 계절변동조정계열의 안정성이 향상되었는가를 진단하고, 분류별로 적합한 X-12-ARIMA방법의 옵션을 제안하였다.

본 논문은 시계열에 내재된 설${\cdot}$추석 등 음력 명절효과의 존재를 검정하기 위해 RegARIMA 모형의 잔차에 대한 t-검정 통계량을 제시하였으며 Box-plot에 의한 그래프적 진단을 시도하였다. 제시된 t-검정 결과를 X-12-ARIMA의 AICC-사전검정 및 RegARIMA 모형에 의해 추정된 명절효과 회귀계수의 t-값과 비교하였다. 사용된 명절효과 변수는 Bell과 Hillmer(1983)의 명절효과 변수이다.

Seasonal adjustment is useful to provide a better understanding of underlying trends in Korean economic statistics. The seasonal component also includes calendar effects such as Seol and Chuseok. Most popular seasonal adjustment methods are X-12-ARIMA of the U.S. Bureau of the Census and TRAMO-SEATS of the Bank of Spain. Statistics Korea and the Bank of Korea compile seasonally adjusted series of several Korean economic statistics. This paper illustrates basic principles for seasonal adjustment and the current status of seasonal adjustment in Korea based on previous research. In addition, several issues on seasonal adjustment are addressed.

The construction cost index and the forecasting model of apartment house can be efficient for evaluating the validness of the fluctuating price, and for making guidelines for construction firms when calculating their profit. In this study the previous construction cost index of apartment house was improved, and the forecasting model based on X-12 ARIMA was developed. According to the result, during the last five years the construction cost, excluding labor expense, has risen approximately to 22.7%. And during next three years, additional 16.8% rise of construction cost is expected. Those quantitative results can be utilized for evaluating the apartment house's selling price in an indirection, and be helpful to understand the variation pattern of the price.

This paper compares the two most widely used seasonal adjustment methods: the X-12-ARIMA and TRAMO-SEATS procedures. The basic features of these methods are discussed and compared in both their theoretical and empirical aspects. In doing so, the X-13A-S program is used to reevaluate their applicability to Korean macroeconomic data by considering possible structural breaks in the series. The finding is that both methods provide very reliable and stable estimates of seasonal factors and seasonally adjusted data. As for the empirical comparisons, TRAMO-SEATS appears to outperform X-12-ARIMA, although the results are somewhat mixed depending on the comparison criteria used and on the series under analysis. In particular, the performance of TRAMO-SEATS turns out to compare more favorably when seasonal adjustment is carried out to each sub-samples (by taking possible structural breaks into account) than when the whole sample period is used. The result suggests that as the model-based TRAMO-SEATS has a considerable theoretical appeal, some features of TRAMO-SEATS should further be incorporated into X-12-ARIMA until a standard and integrated procedure is reached by combining the theoretical coherence of TRAMO-SEATS and the empirical usefulness of X-12-ARIMA.
