A computer program product for selecting time-series data is provided. The computer program product includes a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith. The program instructions are readable and executable by a processing circuit to cause the processing circuit to assemble, by the processing circuit, a set of analytic assessment tools for time-series data, engage, by the processing circuit, the analytic assessment tools to measure characteristics-of-importance in a relevant analytic domain for sets of the time-series data, generate, by the processing circuit, as a measurement result, a score for each set of the time-series data based on the associated characteristics-of-importance and rank, by the processing circuit, the sets of the time-series data in accordance with the score for each set of the time-series data for subsequent time-series data selection.
