Seasonal state space modeling

State space modeling represents a statistical framework for exponential smoo- thing methods and it is often used in time series modeling. This thesis descri- bes seasonal innovations state space models and focuses on recently suggested TBATS model. This model includes Box-Cox transformation, ARMA model for residuals and trigonometric representation of seasonality and it was designed to handle a broad spectrum of time series with complex types of seasonality inclu- ding multiple seasonality, high frequency of data, non-integer periods of seasonal components, and dual-calendar effects. The estimation of the parameters based on maximum likelihood and trigonometric representation of seasonality greatly reduce computational burden in this model. The universatility of TBATS model is demonstrated by four real data time series
