Modify Options Dialog: Analysis Range
Signal Analysis Options Dialog: Analysis Range
This dialog appears in several forms. The Modify Options Dialog allows you to modify default settings for the entire program. The Signal Analysis Options Dialog allows you to modify the values used to analyze the signals for a specific data series or field. The Analysis Range page allows you to specify the default analysis range for signals.
Ä Note: These settings are kept from session to session, so you do not need to modify them each time you start the program.
Specifying the Analysis Period
By default, signal analysis will analyze all of the available data from the first date to the last date. To use a subset of the available data, specific start and end dates can be selected by checking the type of date to constrain and setting the associated date with the date control.
If you would like to analyze the range associated with the training or testing range of a prediction, use the Copy Optimization Range from a Field… button. This will display the Copy Optimization Range From Field Dialog, which allows you to select a prediction and training set group.
& For help using the date controls, see the help for Date Selection Controls.
