Review: Visual Methods for Analyzing Time-Oriented Data Authors: Wolfgang Aigner, Silvia Miksch, Wolfgang Mu¨ ller, Heidrun Schumann, and Christian Tominski
Introduction • This paper presents visualization techniques for various types of temporal data. • Large amount of data – requires human analysis and decision making • Aspects of visualizing temporal data • Visualization, analysis and user • Time characteristics must be considered while visualizing temporal data • Appropriate parameterization and interaction
Types of Times • Linear Time vs Cyclic Time • Time Points vs Time Intervals • Ordered Time vs Branching Time vs Time with multiple perspectives
Time Points vs Time Intervals • Time Wheel
Time Points vs Time Intervals • PlanningLines
OrderTime • ThemeRiver
Branching Time and Time with multiple Perspectives • Not many effective tools to visualize such data • Mostly ordered data visualization or univariate visualization - planninglines
Analyzing Time Oriented Data • Temporal Data Abstraction • Principal Component Analysis • Clustering
Temporal Data Abstraction • VIE_VENT’s schema • Knowledge on data • Context Sensitive • Expectation guided • Quant to Qualitative
Temporal Data Abstraction • The Spread Visualization - Oscillating Data
Principal Component Based Analysis • Dimensionality reduction technique • Finding dimensions with maximum variance • Transforming original dataset to different domain
PCA • Themeriver
PCA • Bar chart visualization of one component
Clustering • Calendar metophar
