The Use of an Iterated Moving Average in Measuring Seasonal Variations
用迭代移动平均测量季节变化
This paper presents a time-saving method for computing an iterated moving average with triangular weights to better represent the trend-cycle elements in a time-series for measuring seasonal variation. A printing-adding machine is used to obtain progressive summation of the Y-data values of a time series. A stencil having three suitably spaced slots is used to disclose progressively the three terms which are summed to obtain the graduated series required. Multiplied by the…
