Chapter 4: Time Series Visualization
In a time series analysis application, visualization often follows data preprocessing, which we introduced in the previous chapter. Data preprocessing cleans the data and puts it into the right size and level of detail for effective visualization and modeling.
This chapter is dedicated to time series visualization to see the kind of time series we are dealing with. It will provide an exploration of the most common visualization techniques to visually represent and display time series data: from a classic line plot to a lag plot; from a seasonal plot to a box plot.
By visualizing time series, we can gain first insights into the data and the analytical problem and increase its accessibility and understandability. Visual data exploration of time series can thus be the goal of the analysis, or it can justify further preprocessing steps and selected analysis methods.
In this chapter, we will introduce visualization techniques on energy consumption...
