As a promising field of research, event sequence analysis seems to assist in facilitating clear reasoning behind human decisions by mining reality behind the sequential actions. Mining frequent patterns from event sequences has proved to be promising in extracting actionable insights, which plays an important role in many application domains. Much of the related work challenges the problem solely from the temporal perspective omitting the information that could be gained from the spatial part. This could be in part due to the fact that analysis of event sequences with references to both time and space is attributed as a challenging task due to the additional variance in the data introduced by the spatial aspect. We propose a visual analytics approach that incorporates spatio-temporal pattern extraction leveraging an extended sequential pattern mining algorithm and a pattern discovery guidance mechanism operating on geographic query and selection capabilities. As an implementation of our approach, we introduce a visual analytics tool, namely ST Sequence Miner, enabling event pattern exploration in time-location space. We evaluate our approach over a credit card transaction dataset by adopting case study methodology. Our study unveils that patterns mined from event sequences can better explain possible relationships with proper visualization of time-location data. |
