Is there a time series with multiple seasonalities?
Sales data contains daily observations. It exhibits weekly and yearly seasonal patterns. It means we are dealing with time series containing multiple seasonal effects. One of those seasonalities is long and contains 365 (366 for leap year) observations. This is something TBATS was designed for.
Can you have both weekly and yearly seasonality?
Indeed, you could have both a weekly and yearly seasonality. You could even have more than 2! BATS and TBATS allow for multiple seasonalities. TBATS is a modification (an improvement really) of BATS that allows for multiple non-integer seasonality cycles.
How is the seasonal effect modeled in TBATS?
It equals 365.25 to account for leap years, a feature TBATS is able to handle. TBATS seems to have done a pretty good job in modeling both of seasonal effects: Fig 2: 3 last years of sales data. TBATS is modeling yearly seasonal effect. Fig 3: 12 weeks of data. Weekly seasonal effect is also being modeled by TBATS.
