Data Mining - Data Mining - Workspaces - Data Miner - General Forecaster - Neural Network Time Series Project

Select the Data Mining tab. In the Tools group, click Workspaces. From the menu, select General Forecaster - Neural Network Time Series Project to display a project workspace (template) with several pre-arranged nodes for investigating time-series problems using ARIMA, seasonal and non-seasonal Exponential Smoothing and the Neural Networks Automated Network Search facilities.

This project can be further augmented to include any of the nodes available in Statistica Data Miner. See Data Mining with Statistica, in particular the topic Structure and User Interface of Statistica Data Miner, for additional details.

To use the prearranged project as-is:

Procedure

  1. Select a data source.
  2. Specify a continuous dependent variable (time-series).
  3. Connect the input data to the node labeled Create/Filter Single-Series Data Sources (to replace any missing data).
  4. Run the project.

Result

The results include a summary graph that combines the fitted values and predictions generated from all models.
