Hello.

 

I'm using the ATSM package of the Proc TSMODEL. I’d like to know if the EXTREME string of the PREFILTER option of the DIAGSPEC.SetOption Method, is equivalent to the OUTLIER OPTION of the ARIMAX statement of the PROC HPF DIAGNOSE. Here below the 2 statements (the first for the PROC TSMODEL and the second for the PROC HPFDIAGNOSE).

 

 

Many thanks in advance

Someone else might give a better response than this but in the meantime, here is what I would say:

The diagspec object has a dedicated setARIMAXOutlier method that is closer to the OUTLIER option in the ARIMAX statement of HPFDIAGNOSE procedure.  The EXTREME string of the PREFILTER option is associated with a quick way to preprocess the series for diagnosis.  It should be the same as the PREFILTER=EXTREME option in the HPFDIAGNOSE procedure (in its PROC statement).

  1. I'm using the ATSM package of Proc TSMODEL (Visual Forecasting release 8.2).
  2. I have to process about 8.000 series.
  3. The problem is that Proc Tsmodel final report, says that 8.000 series were processed but actually I get in the output datasets, forecasts and estimates for only 1200-1300 series.
  4. The number and type of the processed series, vary according to the run and are never the same.
  5. The same code applied to a different data set with different series doesn't give any problem
