Assigning Data to Roles

To run the Time Series Exploration task, you must select an input data source. To filter the input data source, click Filter Icon

You must assign a column to the Dependent variable role.

Role	Description
Roles
Dependent variable	specifies the dependent variable.
Independent variables	specifies any explanatory, input, predictor, or causal factor variables. You can assign only numeric variables to this role.
Transformations	specifies the transformations and simple differencing for the dependent and independent variables. If you assign a variable to the Time ID role, you can also specify an accumulation method. If the season length is greater than 1, you can specify seasonal differencing.
Additional Roles
Time ID	specifies the column that contains the time ID values.
Properties
Interval	specifies the interval for the time ID variable. For more information about SAS time intervals, see Understanding SAS Time Intervals.
Multiplier	specifies the multiplier for the time interval. By default, the multiplier is 1. This value cannot be negative.
Shift	specifies the shift for the time interval. By default, the shift is 1. This value cannot be negative.
Season length	specifies the seasonality of the time interval. The default value depends on the time interval.
Additional Roles
Season length	enables you to specify the seasonality of the data when you do not assign a time ID variable.
Group analysis by	enables you to obtain separate analyses of observations for each unique group.
