ABSTRACT
In this chapter, we'll again look at a new type of data: time series. Previously, moving on from images to tabular data, we found a substantial difference in that image data are homogeneous, while tabular data aren't. With images, individual values correspond to pixels, or positions on a grid. With tabular data, values can – in principle – be “anything”; but most often, we deal with a mix of categorical, ordinal, and numerical data. However, both types of application have one thing in common: All values relate to the same point in time.
