The Recurrence Analysis red triangle menu contains the following options:
MCF Plot
Shows or hides the mean cumulative function (MCF) plot.
MCF Confid Limits
Shows or hides lines on the MCF plot that correspond to the approximate 95% confidence limits of the mean cumulative function (MCF).
Show MCF Legend
(Available only when you specify a Grouping variable.) Shows or hides the legend for the mean cumulative function (MCF) plot.
Event Plot
Shows or hides the Event Plot. If a Cost column is specified in the launch window, the markers in the Event Plot are sized by the values in the Cost column.
Calendar Event Plot
(Available only when the events are designated by a timestamp rather than an age.) Shows or hides the Calendar Event Plot, which shows events with the calendar date on the horizontal axis. This plot is next to the Event Plot and the levels of the Label, System ID variable are aligned vertically in each plot.
Plot Interarrival by Age
Shows or hides the Interarrival by Age plot, which plots the time between successive events on the vertical axis and the event times on the horizontal axis. The units for both axes are determined by the value of the Age Scaling option in the launch window. If the Age Scaling option is set to No Scaling, the units for this plot are seconds in time. You can use this plot to determine whether there are changes in the time between events in the data. For a recurrence analysis, the interarrival times should be independent and identically distributed over time. For more information about interarrival plots, see Tobias and Trindade (2012, p. 420).
Plot MCF Differences
(Available only when you specify a Grouping variable.) Shows or hides a plot for each difference of mean cumulative functions (MCFs), including a 95% confidence interval for that difference. The MCFs are significantly different where the confidence interval lines do not cross the zero line.
Save MCF Differences
(Available only when you specify a Grouping variable.) Creates a new data table that contains the differences in the mean cumulative function (MCF) for each level of the grouping variable.
MCF Plot Each Group
(Available only when you specify a Grouping variable.) Shows or hides a report that contains a mean cumulative function (MCF) plot for each level of the grouping variable. This option can be used to show an MCF Plot for each unit if the Label, System ID variable is also specified as the Grouping variable.
Fit Model
Enables you to fit models for the recurrence intensity and cumulative functions. See Fit Model.
