Abstract

This note describes and illustrates the seasonal adjustment method proposed by Ekkehart Schlicht and Ralf Pauly (1983) in the interactive computable document format (CDF). It requires the free CDF player available at https://www.wolfram.com/player/. It can also be opened and edited by the Wolfram Mathematica program https://www.wolfram.com/mathematica/.
