Data Set
is the name of the current input data set.
Interval
is the time interval (data frequency) for the input data set.
Series
is the variable name and label of the current time series.
Browse
buttonopens the Series Selection window to enable you to change the current input data set or series.
Data Range
is the date of the first and last nonmissing data values available for the current series in the input data set.
Fit Range
is the current period of fit setting. This is the range of data that will be used to fit models to the series.
Evaluation Range
is the current period of evaluation setting. This is the range of data that will be used to calculate the goodness-of-fit statistics for models fit to the series.
Set Ranges
buttonopens the Time Ranges Specification window to enable you to change the fit range or evaluation range. Note: A new fit range is applied when new models are fit or when existing models are refit. A new evaluation range is applied when new models are fit or when existing models are refit or reevaluated. Changing the ranges does not automatically refit or reevaluate any models in the table: Use the Refit Models or Reevaluate Models items under the Edit menu.
View Series Graphically
iconopens the Time Series Viewer window to display plots of the current series.
View Selected Model Graphically
iconopens the Model Viewer to display graphs and tables for the currently highlighted model.
Forecast Model
is the column of the model table that contains check boxes to select which model is used to produce the final forecasts for the current series.
Model Title
is the column of the model table that contains the descriptive labels of the forecasting models fit to the current series.
Root Mean Square Error
(or other statistic name) buttonis the button above the right side of the table. It displays the name of the current model selection criterion: a statistic that measures how well each model in the table fits the values of the current series for observations within the evaluation range. Clicking this button opens the Model Selection Criterion window to let you to select a different statistic. When you select a statistic, the model table the Develop Models window is updated to show current values of that statistic.
