Stat 1000 Tips for Making a Time Series in JMP
Published: Fri, 10/08/10
Hi ,
You are receing this e-mail because you indicated when you signed up for Grant's Updates that you are taking Stat 1000 this term. If in fact, you are not taking Stat 1000, please reply to this e-mail and let me know, and I will fix that.
Throughout the term I will send you all sorts of tips to help you study and learn the course. You probably already have done so, but, if not, I strongly recommend you purchase my Basic Stats 1 Study Book. You will find it a great resource to learn the course. I pride myself in explaining things in clear, everyday language. I also provided numerous examples of all the key concepts with step-by-step solutions. You can order my book at UMSU Digital Copy Centre at University Centre at UM campus. They make the book to order so please allow one business day. The book is split into two volumes and each volume costs $45 + tax.
If you ever want to look back over a previous tip I have sent, do note that all my tips can be found in my archive. Click this link to go straight to my archive:
Tips for Making a Time Series in JMP
See my tip on Entering Data into JMP if you need help getting the data into JMP in the first place.
To make a Time Series: Select Analyze in the toolbar, then select Modeling in the drop-down list and finally select time series. Select your time variable and click "X, Time ID" and select your variable you are tracking and click "Y, Time Series". Click OK. Just ignore that other pop-up menu asking about time lags or autocorrelations or whatever, click OK and move on. None of that has anything to do with the time series.
If, after following these steps, you are still not getting a time series, go back to the data column and double-click each column name and confirm that the Data Type is Numeric and the Modeling Type is Continuous, using the drop-down menus to fix this if necessary.
