Store statistics for Forecast with Best ARIMA Model

Stat > Time Series > Forecast with Best ARIMA Model > Storage

You can save statistics from your analysis to the worksheet so that you can use them in other analyses, graphs, and macros. Minitab stores the selected statistics after the last column of data. The names of the storage columns end with a number that increases as you store the same statistic multiple times.

For more details on the fits, residuals, standardized residuals, and coefficients, go to All statistics and graphs for ARIMA.

Statistics that you can store

Model object
Stores the model object for use with the selection of an alternative model from the Model Selection table. You cannot select an alternative model unless you store the model object.
Fits
Minitab stores the fitted values in the column Fits. When the analysis uses a Box-Cox transformation, these values are in the transformed units.
Residuals
Minitab stores the residuals in the column Residuals. When the analysis uses a Box-Cox transformation, these values are in the transformed units.
Standardized residuals
Minitab stores the standardized residuals in the column SResiduals. When the analysis uses a Box-Cox transformation, these values are in the transformed units.
Coefficients
Minitab stores the coefficients in the column Coefficients.
Forecasts
Minitab stores the forecasts in the column Forecasts. When the analysis uses a Box-Cox transformation, these values are in the transformed units.
Standard errors
Minitab stores the standard errors for the forecast values in the column SEForecasts. When the analysis uses a Box-Cox transformation, these values are in the transformed units.
Lower and upper probability limits
Minitab stores the lower and upper probability limits for the forecast values in the columns LLimits and ULimits. When the analysis uses a Box-Cox transformation, these values are in the transformed units.
Box-Cox transformation
If you transform your response variable, you can store information about the transformation.
Transformed series
Minitab stores the transformed values of the response in the columns BCSERIES.
Fits for original series
Minitab stores the fitted values in the units of the original series in the column OFITS.
Forecasts for original series
Minitab stores the forecasts in the units of the original series in the column OForecasts.
Lower and upper probability limits for original series
Minitab stores the lower and upper probability limits in the units of the original series in the columns OLLimits and OULimits
