I'm trying the classic AirPassengers dataset in R and tried removing the seasonal component using `deSeas <- forecast::seasadj(decompose(d,"multiplicative"))`, but it doesn't seem to go away. Original data: [![enter image description here][1]][1] Seasonality viewed with `plot(decompose(d,"multiplicative"))`: [![enter image description here][2]][2] Seasonality adjusted with deSeas <- forecast::seasadj(decompose(d,"multiplicative")) plot(deSeas) [![enter image description here][3]][3] But decompose still shows a seasonal pattern, `plot(decompose(deSeas,"multiplicative"))`: [![enter image description here][4]][4] I don't understand why there still is a seasonality. Should I de-seasonalize it again? Will arima be able to re-incorporate the single de-seasonalized or double de-seasonalized data back into the predictions that it tries to make?
