Summary
Visualization offers a great way to understand your data. Similarly, visualization is a great way to understand the structure of an iSAX index, especially a big one. In this chapter, we saw various ways to visualize an iSAX index with the help of the D3.js
JavaScript library and got a better look at the distribution of the subsequences and the height of iSAX indexes.
However, it would be great to try your own visualizations using the D3.js
JavaScript library, R, or other appropriate Python packages, which can also create impressive visualizations.
Lastly, do not underestimate the power of a good visualization as it can reveal lots of information in an easy-to-discover way. Just keep in mind that visualization is an art that is hard to master.
The next chapter is about using iSAX indexes for the approximate calculation of the Matrix Profile and the MPdist distance.
