Notes in Case of Using Point Trace

This section describes precautions for using point tracing. Point tracing only outputs points of changes in variables as the trace data. For this reason, although this method is able to display analysis graphs with many change points, it is difficult to tell where the variables are changing. Meanwhile, with unconditional tracing and tracing over specific time periods, you are able to tell where the variables change, although you are not able to acquire many change points. Actual images of these differences are shown below.

Thus, when you analyze variable trends, please be aware that you must select the appropriate method, in accordance with the purpose of the analysis.
