Contemporaneous inference from economic data releases for policy and business decisions has become increasingly relevant in the high pace of the information age. The released data are typically filtered to eliminate seasonal patterns to reveal underlying trends and cycles. The nature of economic...

In this paper we provide a simple MATLAB routine which computes the moving median with trend and seasonality. This approach is linear and for this reason has its disadvantages. So this routine can be improved by combining Monte-Carlo simulations, genetic algorithms simulations and wavelets...
