How Forecast Studio communicates with JMP?

[Anamaria]

Does anyone know how Forecast Studio communicates with JMP? Can I easily import and export data from one to another?  I’ve being using JMP for a while for one-step (year) forecast, but I will need to do some long-term projections and JMP struggles doing it.

Hello -

You will need to convert your JMP table to a SAS data set (when going from JMP to SAS Forecast Studio). Make sure that the data structure will fit requirements of SAS Forecast Studio: you will need a valid date (or datetime variable) in SAS format and at least one analysis variable in numeric format. You could potentially have additional BY variables (numeric or character type) if you have more than one time series, which is usually the case for SAS Forecast Studio.

All results of SAS Forecast Studio are stored as SAS data sets - you should be able to open them in JMP (JMP will take care of the conversion).

Thanks,

Udo
