Research in finance and economics relies on econometric analysis of time-series datasets. While there is a significant interest to explore promising analytical / computational methodologies including matrix and tensor based methods, ranking and clustering in graphs, visual analytics, etc., there are many limitations. The goal of the KarshaViz project is to create prototype datasets, analytical tools and visualization portals and to provide an open sandbox for multi-disciplinary research and exploration. KarshaViz is collaboration between multiple academic and regulatory researchers
