This file contains some information to ensure replicability of results
with STAMP.

The datasets are contained in the folder data.

The file output.txt contains the output obtained when running the
analyses outlined in STAMP 8.30.

All the runs follow the same simple scheme. Most of the models are
formulated in a way that they just require selecting the default
options for most of the "meta-parameters" in the menus.


*****************************
ROAD ACCIDENTS IN GREAT BRITAIN
*****************************
- Load data from file UKdeaths.in7.
- Formulate a STAMP model on variable Laccidents (logs of data).
- Select all the default options except that the sample should end on
  1982(12). For this, obviously modify the dialog "Estimation ends at"
  in the window called "Estimate-STAMP unobservedd components module".

*****************************
RAINFALL IN FORTALEZA
*****************************
- Load data from file rainfall.in7.
- Formulate a STAMP model with output variable Var1 and input variable
  u.
- In the components pane, remove Level and Slope and leave only an
  Irregular component, together with the cycle medium selected.

******************************
PURSE SNATCHING IN CHICAGO
******************************
- Load data from file purse.in7.
- Formulate a STAMP model with variable purse.
- Select a model with just a Level and Irregular components (de-select
  Slope that appears as a default option).

******************************
US GNP CYCLES AND TRENDS
******************************
- Load data from file USgnp.in7.
- Formulate a STAMP model for variable in logs (LUSgnp).
- Model should contain a Level, Slope, Irregular and Cycle short
  (default 5 years).

******************************
QUARTERLY AIRLINE PASSENGERS DATA
******************************
- Load data from file qairline.in7.
- Formulate a STAMP model for variable in logs (Lairline).
- Use default model.

***********************************
COAL CONSUMPTION IN GREAT BRITAIN
***********************************
- Load data from file energy.in7.
- Formulate a STAMP model for variable in logs (LVar2).
- Select all the default options except that the sample should end on
  1982(4). For this, obviously modify the dialog "Estimation ends at"
  in the window called "Estimate-STAMP unobserved components module".
