Temporal

This package provides a flexible & efficient time series class, TS, for the Julia programming language. While still early in development, the overarching goal is for the class to be able to slice & dice data with the rapid prototyping speed of R's xts and Python's pandas packages, while retaining the performance one expects from Julia.

See the documentation for a more in-depth look at the package and some of the pain points it may solve when doing technical research with time series data.

Below is a brief teaser with a minimal use case illustrating a small subset of features. This example also makes use of the Indicators.jl package, which provides a series of financial market technical analysis indicators with wrappers for the Temporal.TS type. Visualization is offered through the Plots.jl package, which Temporal leverages through RecipesBase.jl.
