Syntax Rules (PREDICT command)

  • You can specify a start, an end, or both.
  • The start and end are specified as either date specifications or case (observation) numbers.
  • Date specifications and case numbers cannot be mixed on one PREDICT command.
  • Keyword THRU is required if the end of the range is specified.
  • Keyword THRU by itself defines a PREDICT range starting with the first observation after the use range and ending with the end of the series. If USE has not been specified, PREDICT THRU is meaningless.
