Description

5526 real-world time series with labels for the location of all abrupt changes in level, variability, trend, presence/absence of data points, and irregular outliers. The time series were produced from a range of electronic health record data extracts from a large UK hospital group. Values in each data field were aggregated by day/week/month, and numeric summary values calculated for each timepoint from the (often non-numeric) data by applying simple functions (e.g. number of values present, percentage of missing values, number of distinct values, median value). Labels were produced by visual inspection of time series plots from ~2000 volunteers, via the Health Record Hiccups project on the Zooniverse platform (https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/phuongquan/health-record-hiccups). Volunteers drew a vertical line on the image wherever they saw a change point (green line if they were certain, yellow line if they were unsure). Consensus labels per image were calculated using density based clustering with noise (R v3.6.3, dbscan v1.1-5), and converted back to a date.
