There are two analyses dedicated for calculations on the series. Arithmetic Formula
Category: Analyzing
Seasonal adjustment MA
Overview Method Settings Example Overview The Seasonal adjustment MA analysis removes the seasonal pattern from a series using moving averages. The algorithm used is not as advanced as in Seasonal adjustment Census X-13, but is much faster and easier to use and works well in many cases. The method works by calculating a seasonal factor … Continue reading “Seasonal adjustment MA”
Detrend
Overview Settings Examples Questions How to find a trend with Detrend analysis? Overview The Detrend analysis removes trends from time series by either subtracting or dividing, depending on the chosen method. This is useful when you want to concentrate on the cyclical component of a series. The cyclical component is one of four components of … Continue reading “Detrend”
Rebase
Overview Method Negative values Settings Absolute Method Relative Method Point in time Examples Questions How to chain link the indices and rebase same month each year? Overview To index or compare series with different scales, one way to make the comparison easier is to apply Rebase analysis. It also allows you to show the change … Continue reading “Rebase”
Aggregate
Overview Settings Period Percentage Rolling Examples Questions How do I calculate a rolling sum? How to keep series as is and start aggregating it from certain point in time? Overview The Aggregate analysis transforms a time series so that the values are summed either periodically (each year for instance) or continuously, starting from a specified … Continue reading “Aggregate”
Sorting
Overview Settings Direction Observation limit Missing values Examples Questions Why I see numbers instead of categories? How to show the top 10 highest values in Descending order? I set Observation limit number but it doesn’t work? Overview The Sorting analysis ranks the values of a series in an ascending or descending order. It’s most useful … Continue reading “Sorting”
Slice
Overview Settings Period Set to year/quarter/month Custom ranges Custom points in time Calendar mode Include only periods available in all series Rebase Rebase with base value Additive rebase with base value Use legacy format Examples Overview The Slice analysis cuts a time series into several pieces to compare different periods of time on a graph. … Continue reading “Slice”
Lag
Overview Settings Method Base Example Questions How do I lag or lead a series? Overview When you are investigating the relationship between series, it can happen that their movements are not synchronized. This is where the Lag analysis becomes useful. It moves values of a series backward or forward in time by the number of … Continue reading “Lag”
