     international airline passengers, 1949 to 1960.

Usage:

Examples:

     ## Not run: ## These are quite slow and so not run by example(AirPassengers)

     data(AirPassengers)
     ## The classic 'airline model', by full ML
     (fit <- arima(log10(AirPassengers), c(0, 1, 1),
                   seasonal = list(order=c(0, 1 ,1), period=12)))
     update(fit, method = "CSS")
     update(fit, x=window(log10(AirPassengers), start = 1954))
     pred <- predict(fit, n.ahead = 24)
     tl <- pred$pred - 1.96 * pred$se
     tu <- pred$pred + 1.96 * pred$se
     ts.plot(AirPassengers, 10^tl, 10^tu, log = "y", lty = c(1,2,2))

     ## full ML fit is the same if the series is reversed, CSS fit is not
     ap0 <- rev(log10(AirPassengers))
     attributes(ap0) <- attributes(AirPassengers)
     arima(ap0, c(0, 1, 1), seasonal = list(order=c(0, 1 ,1), period=12))
     arima(ap0, c(0, 1, 1), seasonal = list(order=c(0, 1 ,1), period=12),
           method = "CSS")

     ## Structural Time Series
     ap <- log10(AirPassengers) - 2
     (fit <- StructTS(ap, type= "BSM"))
     par(mfrow=c(1,2))
     plot(cbind(ap, fitted(fit)), plot.type = "single")
     plot(cbind(ap, tsSmooth(fit)), plot.type = "single")
     ## End(Not run)
