Abstract
Methods and apparatus are provided for interactive visualization of temporal event data and correlated outcomes. The temporal event data comprises a plurality of entities undergoing one or more events. The temporal event data is aggregated and a flow graph is generated to represent the aggregated temporal event data. The flow graph comprises a directed acyclic graph having a plurality of nodes connected by edges, wherein each of the nodes represents a group of entities in a given state. A view of the flow graph is generated and then a visualization of the flow graph view can be rendered to a user. The user can interact with the flow graph view and the visualization and/or the flow graph view can be updated based on the user interactions. The flow graph is sliced into layers, wherein a given layer i contains all nodes with i events.
