The Spectrum of Time Series Forms

I've been playing around with time series data recently. Seeing the many forms that these take, I was planning a post describing a bestiary of time series. This, it turns out, is too much work, so here I have collected some examples that I hope, as a collection, demonstrate at least a small part of the vast spectrum of forms that time series data can take. (See an earlier post on using HTML5 to create this type of output).

 

  Head over to d8taplex to play with HTML based time series data.

It IS a lot of work... In the domain of EEGs, people have been trying to do this by hand for decades [a]. However, it may be possible to do this completely automatically, see 5.3 Automatically Constructing EEG Dictionaries of [b].
