Description

persephone3 is the updated R framework developed at Statistics Austria to enable efficient processing of large sets of time series in the production of seasonally adjusted estimates. It modernizes the original persephone package by moving from the RJDemetra backend to the new rjd3 ecosystem, ensuring long term maintainability and compatibility with current JDemetra+ developments.
The package provides a streamlined workflow for handling single, batch, and hierarchical time series, reflecting operational needs within official statistics. It offers a range of analytic tools, including interactive plots and diagnostic visualizations that support experts in identifying outliers, assessing model behavior, and monitoring adjustment quality. Eurostat compatible quality reports can be integrated into the workflow, enabling standardized evaluation of adjustment results where required.
