ABSTRACT: Uses of the Buys-Ballot table for choice of appropriate transformation (using the Bartlett technique), assessment of trend and seasonal components and choice of model for time series decomposition are discussed in this paper. Uses discussed are illustrated with numerical examples when trend curve is linear, quadratic and exponential.
