20 | 21 | The paper introduces and elaborates on four primary time series methods—forecasting, classification, clustering, and anomaly detection—highlighting their specific applications in educational contexts, as presented in Fig. 3. By examining how these methods are utilized, we can discover valuable applications and guide future research in this evolving field. 22 | 23 |
