The RATS Software Forum

Can anyone please tell me where do I find the deseasonalised series after running the following

OPEN DATA "E:\phd\research\RATS\seas.xls"
CALENDAR(Q) 1984:1
DATA(FORMAT=XLS,ORG=COLUMNS) 1984:01 2015:04 y d p lp sp hp m2 comm_e comm_ne nltl npa

esmooth(seasonal=multiplicative,estimate,$
smoothed=esmoothed,fitted=fitted) d 1984:01 2015:04
#d
#esmoothed
#fitted

I was expecting it would automatically be saved in my current folder, but it did not happen that way. Am i missing a command?

Thanks

It doesn't. If you want to save (I assume you mean to a file) you need to do some operation to handle that. See "Getting Data Out" in Section 2.1 of the Introduction. However, I would only recommend doing that if you're planning to use the adjusted data in another program. If you're just using RATS, just leave the ESMOOTH instruction in. That way, you have documented exactly how the series was created.
