Hi,

I'm a bit confused to your reference to a "node". Which application are you using? SAS Enterprise Miner?

Usually the default weekend is Saturday and Sunday. However, this can be changed if you use the weekday67w interval. The 6 is the Friday and the 7 is the Saturday.

Thanks,

Snurre

Dear Snurre

I use SAS E-Miner, I know the weekend for my case is WEEKDAY67W, but how to apply on SAS E-Miner.

Which version are you on?

You should be able to change that in the Time Series Exponential Smoothing Train Properties. There is an option to specify the time series interval.

I use E-Miner version 13.2.

Do you know this EM tip - https://communities.sas.com/docs/DOC-10125 ?

Near the end you there is a discussion on the exp smoothing node which also shows some of the options. Here you need to change the "interval" option.
