Project idea - Generalized Timeseries Event Analyzer

[7yl4r]

@sebastiandig : I was just thinking that the work you have done splitting up the timeseries data into cruises has a lot of potential if generalized. Identifying and analyzing events from within timeseries is an area where a new python library could be really impactful.

I actually have a half-baked paper on something similar left over from grad school. I have a ton of data I want to run through that kind of analysis.

The library would at minimum need to:

1. split up timeseries based on some criteria
2. make a plot showing how the input timeseries is split

More cool stuff we could do:

1. make plots of multiple similar "events"
2. allow for manual adjustments to the split
3. allow for easy tagging / catagorization of different event types
4. automated analysis on groups of the event timeseries
5. additional algorithms for splitting methodology
6. multi-event-type identification
