Analyzing and Visualizing Event Sequence Data by Sean Taylor

Abstract: Many business processes can be represented as event sequence data, especially from product instrumentation in web and mobile applications. However, low-level events are challenging to wrangle, model, and visualize. As a result, analysts typically aggregate data before visualization and estimation, discarding valuable information and introducing bias. In this talk I discuss how to work with event sequences directly, with a focus on exploratory analysis and hypothesis generation, and step through interactive visualizations that support these analysis goals.
