Table 1 Comparison of the scatter-plot layouts in the Time-series Explorer and MaTSE.

		Time-series Explorer	MaTSE
Pre-processing		None	None, log-rescaling and/or normalization
Limited to		Positive real numbers	Real numbers
x - Axis	represents	Ratio	Difference or fold-change
	p > 0	$\frac{v_{n}}{v_{0}}$	v _n − v ₀
	p = 0	n/a	Interpolated value
y - Axis	represents	n/a	Mean value
	p > 0	$\frac{a}{p}$	$\overline{v_{0 \to n}}$
	p = 0	n/a	v
