DIFF Subcommand (TSPLOT command)

DIFF specifies the degree of differencing used to convert a nonstationary variable to a stationary one with a constant mean and variance before plotting.

• You can specify any positive integer on DIFF.
• If DIFF is specified without a value, the default is 1.
• The number of values plotted decreases by 1 for each degree of differencing.

Example

TSPLOT VARIABLES = TICKETS
  /DIFF=2.

• In this example, TICKETS is differenced twice before plotting.
