ggsdc: Visualise seasonal decomposition
In ggseas: 'stats' for Seasonal Adjustment on the Fly with 'ggplot2'

Description Usage Arguments Details Value See Also Examples

Creates a four-facet plot of seasonal decomposition showing observed, trend, seasonal and random components

ggsdc(data, mapping, frequency = NULL, method = c("stl", "decompose",
  "seas"), start = NULL, s.window, type = c("additive", "multiplicative"),
  index.ref = NULL, index.basis = 100, facet.titles = c("observed",
  "trend", "seasonal", "irregular"))

`data`	dataset to use for plot.
`mapping`	List of aesthetic mappings. Must include x and y, and optionally can include colour/color
`frequency`	frequency of the period of the time series eg 12 = monthly
`method`	function to use for performing the seasonal decomposition. stl and decompose are functions in the `stats` package; `seas` is access to the `seats` program from X-13-SEATS-ARIMA via the `seasonal` package
`start`	starting time for the data; only needed if `method = 'seas'`.
`s.window`	parameter to pass to `stl()`
`type`	parameter to pass to `decompose()`
`index.ref`	if not NULL, a vector of integers indicating which elements of the beginning of each series to use as a reference point for converting to an index. If NULL, no conversion takes place and the data are presented on the original scale.
`index.basis`	if index.ref is not NULL, the basis point for converting to an index, most commonly 100 or 1000. See examples.
`facet.titles`	a vector in the order of `observed`, `trend`, `seasonal` and `irregular` for the titles of the four facets of the decomposition. Make sure you get the order right...

This function takes a data frame and performs seasonal decomposition on the variable mapped to the y aesthetic, grouped by the variable (if any) mapped to the colour or color aesthetic. This allows the user to perform the equivalent of plot(stats::decompose(x)) but in the ggplot2 environment for themes, polishing etc; and to overlay decompositions on the same graphic; and with the X13-SEATS-ARIMA seasonal decomposition (so far only with default settings).

The "seasonal" component can be either multiplicative (in which case it will in a small range of values around one) or additive (in which case it will be on the scale of the original data), depending on the settings.
