Abstract

A method performed by a processing system displays a graph of a portion of a rolling horizon time series corresponding to a realization of a realization time series adjacent to a graph of the realization time series.

Claims

1. A method performed by at least one processing system, the method comprising:

detecting a first user input corresponding to a first realization of a realization time series displayed in a first visualization; and

displaying a second visualization of a first portion of a first rolling horizon time series corresponding to the first realization adjacent to the first visualization in response to detecting the first user input.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the first portion of the first rolling horizon time series includes a set of forecasts corresponding to the first realization.

3. The method of claim 2 wherein each of the set of forecasts and the first realization correspond to the same time period.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the first portion of the first rolling horizon time series includes a forecast time series corresponding to the first realization.

5. The method of claim 4 wherein each forecast in the forecast time, series and the first realization correspond to different time periods.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein the first user input includes positioning a pointer over an area in the first visualization that is in proximity to a time period on an axis corresponding to the first realization.

7. The method of claim 1 wherein the first user input includes positioning a pointer over an area in the first visualization that is in proximity to the first realization on the first visualization.

8. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

subsequent to detecting the first user input, detecting a second user input corresponding to a second realization of the realization time series displayed in the first visualization; and

displaying a third visualization of a second portion of the first rolling horizon time series corresponding to the second realization adjacent to the first visualization in response to detecting the second user input.

9. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

displaying a third visualization of a portion of a second rolling horizon time series corresponding to the realization adjacent to the first visualization in response to detecting the first user input.

10. A computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processing system, perform a method comprising:

providing a user interface that allows a user to select a realization of a realization time series displayed as a first graph; and

displaying a portion of a first forecast rolling horizon time series corresponding to the realization as a second graph adjacent to the first graph in the user interface.

11. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 10 further storing instructions that, when executed by the processing system, perform a method comprising:

displaying the first graph of the realization time series in the user interface in accordance with an aggregation level of the realization time series selected by the user.

12. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 10 further storing instructions that, when executed by the processing system, perform a method comprising:

displaying the first graph of the realization time series in the user interface in accordance with a time granularity of the realization time series selected by the user.

13. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 10 further storing instructions that, when executed by the processing system, perform a method comprising:

displaying the portion of the first forecast rolling horizon time series in the user interface, as the second graph in accordance with a horizon length selected by the user.

14. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 10 further storing instructions that, when executed by the processing system, perform a method comprising:

displaying a portion of a second forecast rolling horizon time series corresponding to the realization as a third graph adjacent to the first graph in the user interface.

15. A method performed by at least one processing system, the method comprising:

display a portion of a rolling horizon time series for each realization in a realization time series where each realization is graphed along a first axis at a common point on a second axis and each portion of each rolling horizon time series is graphed along the second axis with corresponding time offsets from the corresponding realization.

16. The method of claim 15 wherein each of the portions of each of the rolling horizon time series includes a respective set of forecasts corresponding to respective ones of the realizations.

17. The method of claim 15 wherein each of the portions of each of the rolling horizon time series includes a forecast time series corresponding to respective ones of the realizations.
