cleanTS

CRAN status R-CMD-check Lifecycle: stable

cleanTS package focuses on developing a tool for making the process of cleaning large datasets simple and efficient. Currently it solely focuses on data cleaning for univariate time series data. The package is integrated with already developed and deployed tools for missing value imputation. It also provides a way for visualizing data at different resolutions, allowing micro-scale visualization. The ultimate goal is the creation of a handy software tool that deals with the problems, processes, analysis and visualization of big data time series, with minimum human intervention.

The package can also be used using a shiny application, available at https://mayur1009.shinyapps.io/cleanTS/.

Package Documentation can be found at https://mayur1009.github.io/cleanTS/.

This project was a part of Google Summer of Code 2021.
