Example (PACF command)

PACF VARIABLES = TICKETS
  /LN
  /DIFF=1
  /SDIFF=1
  /PERIOD=12
  /MXAUTO=25.
  • This example produces a plot of the partial autocorrelation function for the series TICKETS after a natural log transformation, differencing, and seasonal differencing have been applied to the series. Along with the plot, the partial autocorrelation value and standard error are displayed for each lag.
  • LN transforms the data by using the natural logarithm (base e) of the series.
  • DIFF differences the series once.
  • SDIFF and PERIOD apply one degree of seasonal differencing with a period of 12.
  • MXAUTO specifies 25 for the maximum number of lags for which output is to be produced.
