Plot of Measures vs Time Series

 

Measures and time series can be selected to be shown in a so-called free plot of measures vs time series, provided that at least two time series are selected. This operation is useful to visualize the dependence of any measure on selected time series, as well as the difference of this dependence across different time series.

Two or more time series can be selected from the time series list having the title Select two or more time series.  Also, one or more measures can be selected from the measure list having the title Select one or more measures. For measures defined in terms of one or more measure specific parameters, the measure name regards a specified set of parameters (one parameter value for each name). A subset of time series names or measure names can be selected from the respective lists with standard use of the mouse: a click on a name and Shift^click on a another name further down in the list selects all names between the former and the latter; a click on a name and subsequent Ctrl^clicks on other names select these names including the first name; Ctrl^a selects the whole list.

 

View selected free plot

Provided that a list of at least two time series names and one or more measures names are selected, by pressing this button a separate figure window will be displayed (as the one shown below). The time series names are indexed and the graph of each selected measure vs the time series indices are  displayed with a distinct point or line type as explained in the "Running messages" text box. When up to 10 time series names are selected, they are listed together with their indices at the right of the figure, otherwise they are listed in the "Running messages" text box.

 

draw lines / points

The user can choose one of the following: Lines, Points, Both. This is the drawing type for the measure vs time series index plot and a different drawing type is used for each measure, as explained in the "Running messages" text box.

By pressing this button the window of "Plot of Measures vs Time Series" will disappear and the user will be moved to the "View Measures" window. Note that any created figures will remain until the user exits from the "View Measures" window.
