Hello,
for my research I have performed time-series analysis. To smooth out fluctuations, I have averaged values over every 3 years, means that I compressed 3 different values (2004 = 5 ; 2005 = 7 ; 2006 = 9 ) to one value (2004 – 2006 = 7 , since (5+7+9)/3 = 7).
Now I try to display this in a time-series graph, but I have problems with labeling my time–axis. My aim is that the time-axis reflects those 3 year periods. So it should look like this:
–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
| 2004 - 2006 | 2007 - 2009 | 2010 - 2012
So basically the problem is not creating the graph, but labeling the axis so that you can see that the respective value is an average over multiple years.
I did some research and found the command – xlabel –. However, it didn't solve my problem so far.
Any help is appreciated – thanks in advance !
Best regards,
Sebastian
