Plotting and Analyzing Data in the GUI

Why Plot the Data Before Parameter Estimation

After you import the estimation data, as described in Importing Data into the GUI, it is useful to remove outliers, smooth, detrend, or otherwise treat the data to make it more tractable for analysis and estimation purposes. To view and analyze the data characteristics, you must plot the data on a time plot.

How To Plot Data in the GUI

To plot a data set, select the Data cell that you want to plot in the Transient Data node of the Control and Estimation Tools Manager GUI, and click Plot Data.

The data is plotted on a time plot, as shown in the next figure.

Using the time plot, you can examine the data characteristics such as noise, outliers and portions of the data to use for estimating parameters. After you analyze the data, you the preprocess the data as described in Preprocessing Data in the GUI.
