Forecast Model Selection Graph Details

OUTSTATSELECT Behavior

The OUTSTATSELECT data set receives a record for each forecast that is evaluated during a TASK=SELECT invocation of PROC HPFENGINE. As in the one-level model selection list case, this happens regardless of whether the forecast is used in the final forecast or not. Leaf nodes and combined model list’s processed during the TASK=SELECT forecast model selection graph traversal add records to OUTSTATSELECT. Model selection list nodes in the forecast model selection graph traversal produce no records of their own. The following values are generated in the _SELECTED_ column of the OUTSTATSELECT records:

YES

to indicate that the _MODEL_ specification in the OUTSTATSELECT record is selected by the root model selection list in the forecast model selection graph

USED

to indicate that the _MODEL_ specification in the OUTSTATSELECT record is used to produce the selected forecast in the forecast model selection graph

NO

to indicate that the _MODEL_ specification in the OUTSTATSELECT record is neither selected nor used to produced the selected forecast in the forecast model selection graph
