Advanced statistical techniques
- Analyze historical data, predict trends faster and deliver information in ways that your organization’s decision-makers can understand and use.
- Automatically determine the best-fitting ARIMA or exponential smoothing model to analyze your historic data.
- Model hundreds of different time series at once, rather than having to run the procedure for one variable at a time.
- Save models to a central file so forecasts can be updated when data changes, without having to reset parameters or re-estimate models.
- Write scripts so models can be updated with new data automatically.
Procedures
- TSMODEL—use the Expert Modeler to model a set of time-series variables, using either ARIMA or exponential smoothing techniques.
- TSAPPLY—apply saved models to new or updated data.
- SEASON—estimate multiplicative or additive seasonal factors for periodic time series.
- SPECTRA—decompose a time series into its harmonic components, which are sets of regular periodic functions at different wavelengths or periods.
