Harmonic Analysis of Seasonal Data: Some Important Properties

H. E. Doran and J. J. Quilkey

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1972, vol. 54, issue 4_Part_1, 646-651

Abstract: The harmonic model has important properties which enable OLS (Ordinary Least Squares) to be used to estimate efficiently a stable seasonal pattern. These properties are considered, and a procedure is suggested to facilitate a trade-off between simplicity and precision in the specification of the model. Two empirical examples illustrating this procedure are presented.
