CIRJE-J-47. Kunitomo, Naoto, "On X-12-ARIMA2000", March 2001.

This is a tentative Japanese translation of the first part (Chapter 1-Chapter 5) of the X-12-ARIMA Manual with two short appendices on the seasonal adjustment programs. Because the X-12-ARIMA program developed by the time series research group of the U.S. Census Bureau uses the statistical time series analysis extensively, it may be helpful for practitioners in Japan to use or understand the X-12-ARIMA program although the evaluation of the X-12-ARIMA program is still under discussion. We shall translate the remaining parts of the X-12-ARIMA Manual in the near future hopefully.
