APPLY Subcommand (TSPLOT command)

APPLY allows you to produce a plot using previously defined specifications without having to repeat the TSPLOT subcommands.

  • The only specification on APPLY is the name of a previous model enclosed in quotes. If a model name is not specified, the specifications from the previous TSPLOT command are used.
  • To change one or more specifications of the plot, specify the subcommands of only those portions you want to change after the subcommand APPLY.
  • If no variables are specified, the variables that were specified for the original plot are used.
  • To plot different variables, enter new variable names before or after the APPLY subcommand.

Example

TSPLOT VARIABLES = TICKETS
  /LN
  /DIFF=1
  /SDIFF=1
  /PERIOD=12.
TSPLOT VARIABLES = ROUNDTRP
  /APPLY.
TSPLOT APPLY
  /NOLOG.
  • The first command produces a plot of TICKETS after a natural log transformation, differencing, and seasonal differencing have been applied.
  • The second command plots the values for ROUNDTRP using the same subcommands specified for TICKETS.
  • The third command produces another plot of ROUNDTRP but this time without a log transformation. ROUNDTRP is still differenced once and seasonally differenced with a periodicity of 12.
