NarmViz.jl

About

NarmViz.jl is a Julia framework primarily developed to visualize time series numerical association rules. Framework also supports the visualization of the other numerical association rules.

Detailed insights

The current version includes (but is not limited to) the following functions:

  • loading datasets in CSV format,
  • preprocessing of data,
  • visualization of association rules,
  • exporting figures to files.

Visualization examples

Example 1 Example 2

Installation

pkg> add NarmViz

Usage

Basic run example

using NarmViz

# load transaction database
transactions = Transactions("datasets/random_sportydatagen.csv")

# basic settings for visualization
settings = Settings(
    all_features = false, # visualize all features, not only antecedents and consequence
    timeseries = false, # set false for non-time series datasets
    interval = "interval", # Name of the column which denotes the interval (only for time series datasets)
    antecedents = true, # visualize antecedents
    consequence = true, # visualize consequence
    antecedent_color = :blue, # color for showing the antecedent area
    consequence_color = :red, # color for showing consequence area
    title = "My first plot", # Title of visualization
    output_path = "visualization.pdf" # path
)

# vector of antecedents
antecedents = [
    Attribute("duration", 50, 65),
    Attribute("distance", 15, 40),
]

# vector of consequents
consequence = [
    Attribute("calories", 200, 450),
    Attribute("descent", 50, 140),
]

# call the primary function for visualization
# 3 denotes the interval; see the test dataset for an example
visualize(transactions, settings, 3, antecedents, consequence)

# use the following function call when dealing with non-time series data
# visualize(transactions, settings, antecedents, consequence)
