Quality Assessment for Seasonal Adjustment

github.com/AQLT/rjdqa ↗

rjdqa keeps refining one screen: the seasonal adjustment quality dashboard

official-statisticsseasonal-adjustmentquality-assurancer-packagejdemetra
◆Current state
rjdqa builds quality assessment dashboards for seasonal adjustment models produced by JDemetra+, aimed at official statisticians reviewing adjusted series. Essentially all development goes into two functions, simple_dashboard() and its denser variant simple_dashboard2(). Version 0.1.6 adds parameters to append observations to the forecast and to control whether the residual trading-days test is printed, defaulting to monthly series only, plus outlier table layout work and user-defined calendar regressor support in sc_dashboard().
◆Where it's heading
The package has converged on a single deliverable and is tuning it against reviewer practice. Each release adds a parameter that lets the analyst include or exclude one element of the dashboard, or adjusts how densely information is packed into the fixed space of the layout. The td_effect default — print the test only for monthly series — is characteristic: the knowledge about when a diagnostic is meaningful is being encoded into the tool rather than left to the reader.
◆Prediction
The pattern of adding one toggle per diagnostic per release points at the same thing again, most likely another test given a conditional default, rather than a new dashboard function alongside the two that exist.

◆Recent moves

    Forecast observations and conditional trading-days test in dashboards

    Adds add_obs_to_forecast and td_effect parameters to both dashboard functions, with the residual trading-days test printed only for monthly series by default, improves outlier table placement and titling, and lets sc_dashboard() handle user-defined calendar regressors. The densest release in the history and consistent with its per-diagnostic tuning pattern.

    simple_dashboard2() added; deprecated sa_dashboard() removed

    Introduces simple_dashboard2(), a denser variant with smaller text that fits recent outlier information, adds a legend and a parameter to drop the Others contribution and rescale the variance decomposition, and removes the deprecated sa_dashboard(). Establishes the two-function surface the package has refined since.

    simple_dashboard() introduced; sa_dashboard() deprecated

    Adds simple_dashboard() and deprecates sa_dashboard() in favour of sc_dashboard(). The release that set the package's current direction, replacing the original dashboard with the one all later work extends.
