NAME

       x13as - the X-13ARIMA-SEATS Seasonal Adjustment Program

SYNOPSIS

       x13as [args...]

DESCRIPTION

       X-13ARIMA-SEATS computes the seasonal adjustment of one or several time series.

       Each  argument  is  either a filename (whose extension should not be specified and will be
       automatically figured by x13as) or an option flag.

       The operations to be performed are described by specification files  (whose  extension  is
       .spc);  their  format  is  not documented in this manpage (see the reference manual linked
       below).

       There are three operation modes:

       1. Operation on one series
              The specification file should be given as the first filename;  an  optional  second
              filename  can  be  given  for  the output (otherwise the default is to use the same
              basename as the specification file).  Alternatively the specification file  can  be
              given with the -i option, and the output file with the -o option.

       2. Operation on multiple series, with multiple specifications
              A  metafile  (with extension .mta), containing the list of specification files (and
              optionally the corresponding output files), should be given as the argument of  the
              -m option.

       3. Operation on multiple series, with single specification
              The  specification should be given as in the first filename.  A data metafile (with
              extension .dta),  containing  the  list  of  datafiles  with  extension  .dat  (and
              optionally  the  corresponding output files) should be given as the argument of the
              -d option.

OPTIONS

       -c     Sum each of the components of a composite adjustment, but only perform modeling  or
              seasonal adjustment on the total

       -d filename
              Filename (without extension) for data metafile

       -g dirname
              Directory  where graphics metafile and related files for input to external graphics
              programs are stored

       -i filename
              Filename (without extension) for input specification file

       -m filename
              Filename (without extension) for input metafile

       -n     (No tables) Only tables specifically requested in the input specification file will
              be printed out

       -o filename
              Filename  (without extension) used for all output files gener- ated during this run
              of the program

       -p     No pagination is used in main output file

       -q     Run X-13ARIMA-SEATS in quiet-mode (warning messages not sent to the console)

       -r     Produce reduced X-13ARIMA-SEATS output (as in GiveWin version of X-13ARIMA-SEATS)

       -s     Store seasonal adjustment and regARIMA model diagnostics in a file

       -t     Store timing information in the diagnostics file (if -s or -g not  specified,  will
              generate diagnostic file)

       -v     Only check input specification file(s) for errors; no other pro- cessing

       -w     Wide (132 character) format is used in main output file

OUTPUT

       Output files will be created with the .out extension, using by default the basename of the
       specification or data files.

       Error files may be created with  the  .err  extension,  with  the  same  basename  as  the
       specification file.

       A  log  file  will  be  created  with the .log extension, using the basename of either the
       specification file, the metafile or the data metafile, depending on the operation mode.
