TY - JOUR T1 - Visual queries for finding patterns in time series data JF - University of Maryland, Computer Science Dept. Tech Report, CS-TR-4365 Y1 - 2002 A1 - Hochheiser,H. A1 - Shneiderman, Ben AB - Few tools exist for data exploration and pattern iden-tification in time series data sets. Timeboxes are rectan- gular, direct-manipulation queries for studying time-series datasets. Timeboxes are the primary query tool in our Time- Searcher application, which supports interactive explo- ration via dynamic queries, along with overviews of query results and drag-and-drop support for query-by-example. This paper describes the TimeSearcher application and pos- sible extensions to the timebox query model, along with a discussion of the use of TimeSearcher for exploring a time series data set involving gene expression profiles.
