Plots

The Plots tab provides options for displaying plots of the modeling results.

Plots for Comparing Models

This group of options controls display of plots containing statistics calculated across all estimated models. Each option generates a separate plot. You can select one or more of the following options:

• Stationary R-square
• R-square
• Root mean square error
• Mean absolute percentage error
• Mean absolute error
• Maximum absolute percentage error
• Maximum absolute error
• Normalized BIC
• Residual autocorrelation function (ACF)
• Residual partial autocorrelation function (PACF)

Plots for Individual Models

Series. Select (check) this option to obtain plots of the predicted values for each estimated model. You can select one or more of the following for inclusion in the plot:

• Observed values. The observed values of the dependent series.
• Forecasts. The model predicted values for the forecast period.
• Fit values. The model predicted values for the estimation period.
• Confidence intervals for forecasts. The confidence intervals for the forecast period.
• Confidence intervals for fit values. The confidence intervals for the estimation period.

Residual autocorrelation function (ACF). Displays a plot of residual autocorrelations for each estimated model.

Residual partial autocorrelation function (PACF). Displays a plot of residual partial autocorrelations for each estimated model.

To Select Plots

This feature requires the Forecasting option.
