Window Reference

saves the current plot as a SAS/GRAPH grseg catalog entry in a default or most recently specified catalog. This item is unavailable in the Data Table view.

saves the current graph as a SAS/GRAPH grseg catalog entry in a SAS catalog that you specify and/or as an Output Delivery System (ODS) object. By default, an HTML page is created, with the graph embedded as a gif image. This item is unavailable in the Data Table view.

saves the data displayed in the viewer window to an output SAS data set. This item is unavailable in the Series view.

saves the data in a SAS data set that you specify and/or as an Output Delivery System (ODS) object. By default, an HTML page is created, with the data displayed as a table.

is available if you license SAS/Access software. It opens an Import Wizard, which you can use to import your data from an external spreadsheet or data base to a SAS data set for use in the Time Series Forecasting System.

is available if you license SAS/Access software. It opens an Export Wizard, which you can use to export a SAS data set, such as a forecast data set created with the Time Series Forecasting System, to an external spreadsheet or data base.

prints the plot displayed in the viewer window. This item is unavailable in the Data Table view.

prints the data displayed in the viewer window. This item is unavailable in the Series view.

opens the Print Setup window, which allows you to access your operating system print setup.

opens a preview window to show how your plots will look when printed.

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

displays a plot of series values over time. This is the same as the Series icon in the vertical toolbar.

displays plots of the sample autocorrelation, partial autocorrelation, and inverse autocorrelation functions for the series. This is the same as the Autocorrelations icon in the vertical toolbar.

displays horizontal bar charts representing results of white noise and stationarity tests. This is the same as the White Noise and Stationarity Tests icon in the vertical toolbar.

displays a data table containing the values in the input data set. This is the same as the Data Table icon in the vertical toolbar.

zooms the display. This is the same as the Zoom In icon in the window’s horizontal toolbar.

undoes the last zoom in action. This is the same as the Zoom Out icon in the window’s horizontal toolbar.

reverses all previous Zoom In actions and expands the time range of the plot to show all of the series, or shows the maximum number of lags in the Autocorrelations View or the White Noise and Stationarity Tests view.

applies a log transformation. This is the same as the Log Transform icon in the window’s horizontal toolbar.

applies simple differencing. This is the same as the Difference icon in the window’s horizontal toolbar.

applies seasonal differencing. This is the same as the Seasonal Difference icon in the window’s horizontal toolbar.

opens the Series Viewer Transformations window to enable you to apply a wide range of transformations.

opens the Series Diagnostics window to determine the kinds of forecasting models appropriate for the current series.

opens the Interventions for Series window to enable you to edit or add intervention effects for use in modeling the current series.

connects or disconnects the Time Series Viewer window to the window from which series are selected. This is the same as the Link item in the window’s horizontal toolbar.

opens a window to let you specify the number of lags shown in the Autocorrelations view and the White Noise and Stationarity Tests view. You can also use the Zoom In and Zoom Out actions to control the number of lags displayed.

controls whether the bar charts in the Autocorrelations view represent significance probabilities or values of the correlation coefficient. A check mark or filled check box next to this item indicates that significance probabilities are displayed. In each case the bar graph horizontal axis label changes accordingly.
