These timeboxes support interactive formulation and modification of queries, thus speeding the process of exploring time-series data sets and guiding data mining. The design of the time-series viewer has been improved from TimeSearcher by supporting multivariate time-series data and adding a timeline so that it can be synchronized with data viewers. Figure 6 shows an example of how to build a query using the time-series viewer. In this example, users want to find people whose marital status is changed from “never married” to “married” between April 2001 and June 2002. The query results are synchronized with the data viewers so that the personal data viewer can show the people who satisfy this condition and the household viewer can show the households containing those people.
