		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	$\frac{v_n}{v_0}$	vn − v0
	p = 0	n/a	Interpolated value
y - Axis	represents	n/a	Mean value
	p >0	$\frac{a}{p}$	$\stackrel{\_}{v_{0\to n}}$
	p = 0	n/a	v
