Abstract
Visualizations of a serial process are provided. A process model of a serial process is constructed using an underlying statististical model. The process model represents each instance of the serial process as a series of interconnected nodes, wherein (i) the serial process includes a plurality of events; (ii) each node is associated with an event and a time at which the associated event occurred in an instance of the serial process; and (iii) connectors link nodes together to form the series of interconnected nodes, the connectors representing stages of serial process. The stages are scored and categorized into various categories based, at least in part, on the process model. One or more of the categories is associated with outlier stages. A visualization of the process model is presented such that the visualization associates the stages of the instances of serial process with respective categories.
