| | CHAPTER 6. TIME SERIES DECOMPOSITION |
 | | A fifth series, written to column 5 in the decomposition matrix, is generated by computing the ratios of entries in column 3 (SxI) to the corresponding entries in column 4 (S), which by cancellation (or division) yields an isolated irregular, I, series. |
 | | Finally, a seventh series, written to column 7 of the decomposition matrix, is generated by computing the ratios of the entries in the second column (TxC) by the corresponding entries in the sixth column (T), which by cancellation yields an isolated cyclical, C, Series. |
 | | Given the data in columns 4 through 7 of the decomposition matrix, the seasonal adjustment factors computed from column 5, and the trend (or multiple) regression equation which generated column 6, a forecast may be constructed. |
