The X12 Procedure

Syntax

The X12 procedure uses the following statements:

PROC X12 options;: TRANSFORM options;; ESTIMATE;; IDENTIFY options;; REGRESSION options;; ARIMA options;; X11 options;; VAR variables;; OUTPUT options;

The PROC X12 statements perform basically the same function as the Census Bureau's X-12-ARIMA specs. Specs or specifications are used in X-12-ARIMA to control the computations and output. The PROC X12 statement performs some of the same functions as the Series spec in the Census Bureau's X-12-ARIMA software. The TRANSFORM, ESTIMATE, IDENTIFY, REGRESSION, ARIMA, and X11 statements are designed to perform the same functions as the corresponding X-12-ARIMA specs, although full compatibility is not yet available. The Census Bureau documentation X-12-ARIMA Reference Manual can provide added insight to the functionality of these statements.
