Hi,

I am using MoveReg Seasonal adjustment function and I want to add Chinese new year holidays.

: help page.PNG (83.82 KiB) Viewed 23201 times

The help page said
"The User Events edit field can be used to specify your own holidays/events. Simply enter the name of one or more series in the workfile containing binary information on whether an observation is a holiday/event or not."

I am confused about this. Say 25/01/2020 and 05/02/2019 are the dates for Chinese new years, how to create this user events?

Thanks a lot.

Best,
Rong

Create a new series in your workfile containing zeroes and non-zero values for holiday effects.

The simplest approach would be:

Code: Select all


series myholiday = (@date=@dateval("2020/01/25")) or (@date=@dateval("2019/02/05"))

But of course, you might want to put a value of 0.5 on 2020/01/25 and a value of 0.5 on 2020/01/04 or something.
