Description

Some data has an associated period that should be taken into account for visualizations. For instance, patterns may repeat according to a certain pattern based on the hour of the day, day of the week, month of the year, etc., or according to some non-calendar-based timeline.

We should make an example of plotting such data, first for a fixed, known timebase, and then possibly for exploring possible timebases interactively (akin to Fourier analysis, i.e. plotting across a range of periodicities).

Tasks:

- [ ] Select suitable dataset (e.g. NYC Taxi, for calendar-based periods)
- [ ] Make or update notebook showing how to fold the data across periods
- [ ] Make an example showing how to search the space of possible periods to discover temporal patterns

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reviewing related issue #104 and selecting a suitable periodic dataset, then plan a notebook for folding data across known periods and a separate exploration of possible periods; done means both examples demonstrate the requested temporal patterns.
