STL issue

Postby pgrign » Thu Sep 14, 2017 4:17 am

Hi, I have an issue with the STL method to deseasonalize weekly data: I want to check whether the trend is accelerating or decelerating, so I look at the first difference, but it has strange spikes like those in the picture attached. Why does it happen? I checked with other series and it keep happening.
