LifeCycles is a Python software package that allows to represent and analyze the temporal dynamics of (groups of) data points/nodes. The library provides a set of tools to model and analyze the temporal evolution of data points/nodes, and to extract meaningful patterns from the data.

If you use LifeCycles as support to your research consider citing:
