The X-l1 method of seasonal adjustment uses moving averages to estimate the main components of the series: trend-cycle and seasonality. These filters, which do not involve a priori the use of sophisticated concepts or model, are very simple in principle and especially flexible in their application: it is possible to construct a moving average that has good properties in terms of trend preservation, elimination of seasonality, noise reduction, and so on.
