The RegArimaDoc menu for a newly created RegArima document

RegArimaDoc-#number is a default name that corresponds to the RegArima document’s name. The default name can be changed by the user in the Workspace window (right click on RegArimaDoc-#number under the regarima node in the Workspace window and select rename from the local menu).

The options for RegArimaDoc include:

  • Paste – pastes the time series to the RegArimaDoc window and performs seasonal adjustment for this time series using settings selected for the current process. The series needs to be previously copied, e.g. from the Providers window. Otherwise the message informing that the action cannot be done is displayed.

  • Refresh data – updates the input data and executes the seasonal adjustment process. This option is only available for RegArimaDoc documents saved during a previous session with JDemetra+. To use this option, first create a RegArimaDoc document and drag and drop the time series into it. Then save the workspace and close JDemetra+. Next, update the time series (add/change the observations, but do not change either the location of the file or the file name) and open JDemetra+ once again. Open the previously saved workspace and double click on the respective RegArima document in the Workspace window. Finally, choose the Refresh data option from the RegArimaDoc menu. JDemetra+ re-estimates the complete seasonal adjustment model automatically, so the results are updated immediately. The user can modify the specification and validate the newly introduced changes using the Specifications functionality.

  • Lock – prevents the series from the RegArimaDoc from being changed when the user double clicks on a new series in the Providers window. However, with this option the user can still change the settings of the specification.

  • Copy spec. to workspace – copy the specification of the active document into the workspace. This allows it to be used for further processing.
