Data Fields

• Time Series Field

Dropdown w/Expression

Select a Date Field for the time series model.

• Value Field

Dropdown w/Expression

Select a Value Field for the time series model.

• Additional Properties

Icon

Allows a Display Name to be assigned to the Value Field selected and to select How to Handle Missing Values.

• Replace with predicted value

• Replace with average

• Replace with previous value (default)

• Preview Model Data

Button

Opens a dialog to view the data that will be used by the model. See Model > Model tab.

Effects (Covariates)

This is a repeater section that allows one or more Covariate Fields to be selected, which will influence the model with respect to the main Data Fields selected above. For example, if the model sets out to predict a Temperature Forecast, by adding external influencing factors (such as Humidity, Wind Speed, Mean Pressure), the analysis will quantify the degree to which each external variable contributes to the variability in the Mean Temperature.

• Covariate Fields

Dropdown w/Expression

Select a Covariate Field.

• Criteria

Read-only Text Field w/Filter Icon

Opens the Query Builder to allow one or more filter criteria to be added for the data.

• Additional Properties

Icon

See above.

• Preview

Button

Opens a dialog to view the Covariate Data as relating to the Model Data.

Quick Insight Model Parameters

• Configure Model Parameters

Button

Opens a dialog to select child models for the current parent model. See Model > Model tab.

Model Size

Dropdown

Default (2000)

Manage the model’s size. Larger models provide reliable interpretations at the cost of longer insight run times. Smaller models produce quicker results but lack the inclusiveness of larger counterparts.

• Default - Samples: 2000

• Custom - enter a value in the Number of Trials field below.

Number of Trials

Number Field

2000

Enter a number for the number of Trial Samples. This field is only visible if the user has selected Custom in the Model Size field above.

Type of Data

Dropdown

Data is Normal

Select the Type of Data from either of the following options:

• Data is Normal - data is expected to have a normal value distribution.

• Data has Outliers - data is expected to have a distribution with some outliers.

Analyze By

Dropdown

Day

Time durations for which the data will be analyzed. Multi-select (tags) for one or more time duration values, including:

• Hour

• Day

• Week

• Month

• Quarter

• Year

Show Analysis for Periodic Estimation

ON/OFF Toggles

One or more On/Off Toggles will show depending on the selection for Analyze By above.

Special Day Insight

ON/OFF Toggle

ON

Will generate additional insights relating specifically to configured Special Days for the Ontology. This toggle is only available if Day is selected for Analyze By above.

Change Point Selection

Dropdown

Automatic Change Points

Select how Change Points will help the model adjust to significant shifts in business trends, including:

• Automatic Change Points (default) - the system detects and adjusts to trend shifts automatically. Example: A surge in online orders during Black Friday.

• Candidate Change Points - the system suggests potential shifts, allowing review before applying. Example: The model highlights seasonal sales patterns for review.

• Custom Change Points - Define trend shifts manually based on business knowledge. Example: Marking a product launch date that impacts sales growth.

Number of Candidate Change Points

Number field

5

Defines how many key trend shifts the system considers when analyzing business data. This field only shows when the Candidate Change Points value is selected in the Change Point Selection above.

• A higher number captures more variations, but may lead to unnecessary complexity. Example: Tracking daily fluctuations in stock prices.

• A lower number keeps insights simpler, focusing only on major changes. Example: Identifying major sales peaks in a quarterly revenue report.

Select a Date(s)/Range

Date Field(s)

Defines specific Date(s)/Range for Change Points. This field only shows when the Custom Change Points value is selected in the Change Point Selection above.

Missing Values (%)

Text Field

25

Represents the percentage of missing data in the time series, helping assess data quality. It also defines the limit for how much missing data can be imported. A higher threshold allows the model to tolerate and fill in more missing values, which can impact forecast accuracy.

Model Configuration
