Horizontal Tool Bar

The Time Series Viewer window contains a horizontal toolbar with the following icons:

Zoom in

changes the mouse cursor into cross hairs that you can use with the left mouse button to drag out a region of the time series plot to zoom in on. In the Autocorrelations view and the White Noise and Stationarity Tests view, Zoom In reduces the number of lags displayed.

Zoom out

reverses the previous Zoom In action and expands the time range of the plot to show more of the series. In the Autocorrelations view and the White Noise and Stationarity Tests view, Zoom Out increases the number of lags displayed.

Link/Unlink viewer

disconnects or connects the Time Series Viewer window to the window in which the series was selected. When the Viewer is linked, it always shows the current series. If you select another series, linked Viewers are updated. Unlinking a Viewer freezes its current state, and changing the current series has no effect on the Viewer’s display. The View Series action creates a new Series Viewer window if there is no linked Viewer. By using the unlink feature, you can open several Time Series Viewer windows and display several different series simultaneously.

Log Transform

applies a log transform to the current view. This can be combined with other transformations; the current transformations are shown in the title.

Difference

applies a simple difference to the current view. This can be combined with other transformations; the current transformations are shown in the title.

Seasonal Difference

applies a seasonal difference to the current view. For example, if the data are monthly, the seasonal cycle is one year. Each value has subtracted from it the value from one year previous. This can be combined with other transformations; the current transformations are shown in the title.

Close

closes the Time Series Viewer window and returns to the window from which it was invoked.
