Exploring the role of timelines in modern data science workflows

Time adds the structure that raw data often lacks. In data science, timelines expose how patterns form, how behavior shifts, and how trends evolve. They turn isolated data points into sequences you can interpret, compare, and use to forecast what comes next.

Find out how timelines help data scientists interpret trends, build accurate forecasts, detect emerging signals, and make better decisions grounded in temporal evidence.

Learn how data scientists break complex time-dependent data into trends, seasonal cycles, and irregular components.
