NarmViz.jl is a Julia framework primarily developed to visualize time series numerical association rules. 📈 The framework also supports visualization of other numerical association rules.
The current version includes (but is not limited to) the following functions:
- loading datasets in CSV format 📁
- preprocessing of data 🔄
- visualization of association rules 📊
- exporting figures to files 💾
