Prerequisites
Manipulating Time Series Data in R1
R Time Series Visualization Tools
This chapter will introduce you to basic R time series visualization tools.
2
Univariate Time Series
Univariate plots are designed to learn as much as possible about the distribution, central tendency and spread of the data at hand. In this chapter you will be presented with some visual tools used to diagnose univariate times series.
3
Multivariate Time Series
What to do if you have to deal with multivariate time series? In this chapter, you will learn how to identify patterns in the distribution, central tendency and spread over pairs or groups of data.
