I am looking for an alternative tool (proprietary or FOSS) that matches the functionality of Temporal Analyst for ArcGIS by DHI Software. The best I could get was the QGIS plugin Time Manager whose functionality I perceive is more for visualisation than analytical (similar to esri's Time Slider.)

[Data Analysis - the Temporal Analyst for ArcGIS offers a suite of tools for data analysis and processing, incl. basic statistics and arithmetics, time step resampling, gapfiling, distribution and CDF plots, duration curves, double mass and double scatter.]

I am not a statistician nor hardcore developer so the more the "point and click" I can get the better.

Maybe Multitemporal Multivariate data visualization plugin for QGIS is closer to what you're looking for.

  • and if the included visualisations do not suffice you the plugin can easily be expanded to include new visualizations if needed.

    That's what I am looking for, thanks. [looks like an eventual migration to QGIS is unevitable. :-) ]

This is an interesting implementation from a former professor of mine at the University of Tennessee from a National Science Foundation project titled "Towards a GIS-based Analytical Time-geographic Framework for Physical and Virtual Activities:

http://web.utk.edu/~sshaw/NSF-Project-Website/default.htm

From the project web page: "The major goal of this project is to extend Hägerstrand’s time geography such that it can provide a comprehensive framework of representing and modeling both physical and virtual activities as well as the interactions between them. In addition, this research will design a space-time geographic information system (GIS) to implement the extended time-geographic framework."

  • Been playing with the extension, 'quick' results - am familiar with esri environment. The QGIS plugin seems the comprehensive solution.Thanks
