Analyzing such kind of data by using classical time series forecasting methods, such as exponential smoothing method and ARIMA model, will fail to capture such variation. This paper is released to present a review of the models which are used to forecast the calendar effect, especially moving holidays effect. We adopt the recent approach of X13-ARIMA-SEATS and extend it for being able to forecast the effect of Islamic holidays. Our extension is applied to Moroccan case studies, and aims to give recommendations concerning this effect on logistic activities.}, isbn = {978-1-4799-4650-1}, author = {Sarhani, Malek and El Afia, Abdellatif}, editor = {Benadada, Y} }
