Estimation of moving trading-day variations with application to the Canadian Retail Trade series / by Pierre A. Cholette and Marietta Morry.CS11-617/94-8E-PDF

"Many changes in the opening hours and days of stores have occurred in Canada. Because of this and other reasons explained in the paper, the trading-day variations have evolved considerably during the last two decades. However, the methods used to calculate those variations still assume constant relative daily weights. As a result, the monthly seasonally adjusted Retail Trade series have recently displayed residual variations, which are likely attributable to an inadequate estimation of the trading-day component. The paper presents the solution adopted to solve the problem. The paper also presents an alternative method, based on regression with stochastic parameters"--Abstract.
