Working with Time Series Data

Time Intervals, the Time Series Forecasting System and the Time Series Viewer

Time intervals are used in the Time Series Forecasting System and Time Series Viewer to identify the number of seasonal cycles or seasonality associated with a DATE, DATETIME or TIME ID variable. For example, monthly time series have a seasonality of 12 because there are 12 months in a year; quarterly time series have a seasonality of 4 because there are 4 quarters in a year. The seasonality is used to analyze seasonal properties of time series data and to estimate seasonal forecasting methods.
