What makes you think the results should be different? In your
examples you are estimating the same seasonal ARIMA model using
the same method (conditional ML) (a) via gretl itself and (b) via
X-12-ARIMA.
There are differences between native-gretl and X-12-ARIMA
(explained in section 22.2 of the Gretl User's Guide) but if the
model does not contain a constant or any exogenous variables these
differences will not be apparent. (Of course, differences may
emerge if the likelihood-maximization is particularly difficult
and one or other of the programs fails to find the maximum.)

Some questions about X-12-ARIMA
by 不提供 不提供
Dear all:
When I choose the options of Model/Time series/ARIMA/Using X-12-ARIMA to gain a model,
are the explanatory variables such as as number of working days,day of week effects, length of month etc included automatically already in the model ?
Is the model I get a RegARIMA model?
If it is not, how do I input the variables above in gretl 1.9.1 cvs ?
>From where I can choose these variables and show their output in gretl 1.9.1 cvs ?

Some questions about X-12-ARIMA
by 不提供 不提供
Dear all:
John C. Frain, thank you.
So if I choose the options Model/Time series/ARIMA/Using X-12-ARIMA to run the X-12-ARIMA model. The explanatory variables such as as number of working days,
day of week effects, length of month etc are all automatically already included, they are just not shown in the output of gretl, right? Or I have to choose these variables by myself?
Are all the explanatory variables the same as RegARIMA in X-12-ARIMA – Reference Manual, Version 0.3. (U.S. Census Bureau) ?
Thanks a lot

Some questions about X-12-ARIMA
by 不提供 不提供
Thanks John C. Frain & Dr RJF Hudson. It is kind of you to answer my question. But there are still some questions.
The equations of seasonal ARIMA and X-12-ARIMA are different, so their outcomes should be different.
But I get almost the same outcomes when I run seasonal ARIMA and X-12-ARIMA using the same AR and MA.(ex: ARIMA(1,1,1)(1,1,0) and X-12-ARIMA(1,1,1)(1,1,0))
There are a few excepios. The outcomes of ARIMA(1,1,1)(1,1,0) and X-12-ARIMA(1,1,1)(1,1,0) above may be almost the same.
But when I run ARIMA(1,1,2)(2,1,0) and X-12-ARIMA(1,1,2)(2,1,0) under the same sample.
Their outcomes are hugely different. Most of them are almost the same. A few exceptions of them are different.
In a word, why are the most outcomes of seasonal ARIMA and X-12-ARIMA almost the same(ex:ARIMA(1,1,1)(1,1,0) and X-12-ARIMA(1,1,1)(1,1,0), ARIMA(2,1,1)(0,1,2) and X-12-ARIMA(2,1,1)(0,1,2)).
Their general equations are different. Shouldn't their outcomes be different? I don't know it is a question about statistics, or I run X-12-ARIMA incorrectly in gretl.
If I choose the options of Model/Time series/ARIMA/Using X-12-ARIMA to run the X-12-ARIMA model, it has already included original seasonality adjusting variables of regARIMA or I have to choose these variables by myself?(I just want to include the variables defined by X-12-ARIMA – Reference Manual, Version 0.3. U.S. Census Bureau)
Thanks a lot

The outcomes of ARIMA(1,1,2)(2,1,0 ) and X-12-ARIMA(1,1,2)(2,1,0 ) are hugely different.
The question above puzzles me.
I also want to know When I choose the options Model/Time series/ARIMA/Using X-12-ARIMA to run the X-12-ARIMA model. Is the set of equation of X-12-ARIMA in gretl the same as RegARIMA(X-12-ARIMA – Reference Manual, Version 0.3. U.S. Census Bureau):
φ(B)Φ(B)▽^d ▽_s^D[y-Σβ_i x_it]= θ(B)Θ(B)a_t
I can not see the outcome of any seasonality adjusting regression variables(the part of y-Σβ_i x_it, such as length-of-month、Trend constant、Trading day、level shift at t_0 and so on).

some questions about X-12-ARIMA
by 不提供 不提供
Dear all:
I have three questions.
1: Why is the outcome of X-12-ARIMA model almost the same as Seasonal ARIMA. For example, there are two models with the same lags of AR and MA, namely X-12-ARIMA(1,1,0)(1,1,1) and ARIMA(1,1,0)(1,1,1).
The coefficient of AR(1)、SAR(1)、SMA(1) of X-12-ARIMA(1,1,0)(1,1,1) is 0.853261、1.774953、0.114786.
The coefficient of AR(1)、SAR(1)、SMA(1) of Seasonal ARIMA(1,1,0)(1,1,1) is
0.853332、1.774762、0.114335
AIC of X-12-ARIMA(1,1,0)(1,1,1) is 2487.968
AIC of ARIMA(1,1,0)(1,1,1) is 2487.942
MAPE of out of sample of X-12-ARIMA(1,1,0)(1,1,1) is 4.7894
MAPE of out of sample of Seasonal ARIMA(1,1,0)(1,1,1) is 4.7326
This two models are almost the same. Other lags of AR and MA have the same situation. But there is a few exceptions. For example, X-12-ARIMA(1,1,2)(2,1,0) and Seasonal ARIMA(1,1,2)(2,1,0) may have different outcome.
2: I choose the options of Model/Time series/ARIMA/Using X-12-ARIMA to run the X-12-ARIMA model. Is the set of equation of X-12-ARIMA in gretl the same as general model of RegARIMA in X-12-ARIMA – Reference Manual, Version 0.3. (U.S. Census Bureau)?
I can not see the outcome of any seasonality adjusting regression variables(such as length-of-month、level shift and so on).
3. Is there any relationship between the option of Model/Time series/ARIMA/Include a constant and trend constant in regARIMA? Can I not choose the option of Model/Time series/ARIMA/Include a constant when runing X-12-ARIMA?
Thanks a lot

The equation should be written in

?
Maybe the two equations are both wrong. What is the correct equation?
I don’t know the correct positive and negative signs of the coefficients in the ARIMA equation.
Another sample is ARIMAX. I add two dummy variables: dm1 is for January, dm2 is for Febuary. There is the output of ARIMAX(1,1,1) below:

Thanks for the report. The fcstats function was broken by a typo
in a CVS commit of December 7 (that is, after the 1.9.3 release).
This is now fixed in CVS and snapshots.
