Time Plot nodes allow you to view one or more time series plotted over time. The series you plot must contain numeric values and are assumed to occur over a range of time in which the periods are uniform.

Creating interventions and events
You can create Event and Intervention fields from the time plot by generating a derive (flag or nominal) node from the context menus. For example, you could create an event field in the case of a rail strike, where the drive state is True if the event happened and False otherwise. For an Intervention field, for a price rise for example, you could use a derive count to identify the date of the rise, with 0 for the old price and 1 for the new price. See Derive node for more information.
