Time Series Differencing
After you optionally transform the series, you can simply or seasonally difference the accumulated series by using the VAR
statement DIF= and SDIF= options. For example, suppose 
is a monthly time series. The following examples of the DIF= and SDIF= options demonstrate how to simply and seasonally difference
the time series.
dif=(1) sdif=(1) dif=(1,12)
Additionally, when is strictly positive and the TRANSFORM=, DIF=, and SDIF= options are combined in the VAR statements, the transformation operation
is performed before the differencing operations.
