A smoothness priors approach to the modeling of time series with trends and seasonality’s is shown. An observed time series is decomposed into local polynomial trend, seasonal, globally stationary autoregressive and observation error components. Each component is characterized by an unknown variance-white noise perturbed difference equation constraint. The constraints or Bayesian smoothness priors are expressed in state-space model form. A Kalman predictor yields the likelihood for the unknown variances (hyper parameters) with a computational complexity, O(N). Likelihoods are computed for different constraint order models in different subsets of constraint equation model classes. Akaike's minimum AIC procedure is used to select the best model fitted to the data within and between the alternative model classes. Smoothing is achieved by a smoother algorithm.
