Time Series TransformerDocumentationhttps://allen-chiang.github.io/Time-Series-Transformer/importpandasaspdimportnumpyasnpfromtime_series_transform.sklearnimport*importtime_series_transformaststIntroductionThis package provides tools for time series data preprocessing. There are two main components inside the package: Time_Series_Transformer and Stock_Transformer. Time_Series_Transformer is a general class for all type of time series data, while Stock_Transformer is a sub-class of Time_Series_Transformer. Time_Series_Transformer has different functions for data manipulation, io transformation, and making simple plots. This tutorial will take a quick look at the functions for data manipulation and basic io. For the plot functions, there will be other tutorial to explain.Time_Series_TransformerSince all the time series data having time data, Time_Series_Transformer is required to specify time index. The basic time series data is time series data with no special category. However, there a lot of cases that a time series data is associating with categories. For example, inventory data is usually associate with product name or stores, or stock data is having different ticker names or brokers. To address this question, Time_Series_Transformer can specify the main category index. Given the main category index, the data can be manipulated in parallel corresponding to its category.Here is a simple example to create a Time_Series_Transformer without specifying its category.data={'time':[1,2,3,4,5],'data1':[1,2,3,4,5],'data2':[6,7,8,9,10]}trans=tst.Time_Series_Transformer(data,timeSeriesCol='time')transdata column

category: NoneThere are two ways to manipulate the data. The first way is use the pre-made functions, and the second way is to use the transform function and provide your custom function. There are six pre-made functions including make_lag, make_lead, make_lag_sequence, make_lead_sequence, and make_stack_sequence. In the following demonstration, we will show each of the pre-made functions.Pre-made functionsmake_lag and make_lead functions are going to create lag/lead data for input columns. This type of manipulation could be useful for machine learning.trans=tst.Time_Series_Transformer(data,timeSeriesCol='time')trans=trans.make_lag(inputLabels=['data1','data2'],lagNum=1,suffix='_lag_',fillMissing=np.nan)print(trans.to_pandas())time  data1  data2  data1_lag_1  data2_lag_1

The input data will be passed as dict of list, and the output data should be either pandas DataFrame, pandas Series, numpy ndArray or list. Note, the output length should be in consist with the orignal data length.For exmaple, this function takes input dictionary data and sum them up. The final output is a list.importcopydeflist_output(dataDict):res=[]foriindataDict:iflen(res)==0:res=copy.deepcopy(dataDict[i])continueforix,vinenumerate(dataDict[i]):res[ix]+=vreturnrestrans=tst.Time_Series_Transformer(data,timeSeriesCol='time')trans=trans.transform(inputLabels=['data1','data2'],newName='sumCol',func=list_output)print(trans.to_pandas())time  data1  data2  sumCol

This class only provide one columns for main category because multiple dimensions can be aggregated into a new column as main category.The following example has one category with two type a and b. Each of them has some overlaped and different timestamp.data={"time":[1,2,3,4,5,1,3,4,5],'data':[1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4],"category":['a','a','a','a','a','b','b','b','b']}trans=tst.Time_Series_Transformer(data,'time','category')transdata column

main category column: categorySince we specify the main category column, data manipulation functions can use n_jobs to execute the function in parallel. The parallel execution is with joblib implmentation (https://joblib.readthedocs.io/en/latest/).trans=trans.make_lag(inputLabels=['data'],lagNum=1,suffix='_lag_',fillMissing=np.nan,n_jobs=2,verbose=10)print(trans.to_pandas())[Parallel(n_jobs=2)]: Using backend LokyBackend with 2 concurrent workers.

[Parallel(n_jobs=2)]: Done   2 out of   2 | elapsed:    3.6s finishedTo further support the category, there are two functions to deal with different time length data: pad_different_category_time and remove_different_category_time. The first function is padding the different length into same length, while the other is remove different timestamp.trans=tst.Time_Series_Transformer(data,'time','category')trans=trans.pad_different_category_time(fillMissing=np.nan)print(trans.to_pandas())time  data category

All those io can specify whether to expand category or time for the export format. In this demo, we will show numpy and pandas. Also, Transformer can combine make_label function and sepLabel parameter inside of export to seperate data and label.pandasdata={"time":[1,2,3,4,5,1,3,4,5],'data':[1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4],"category":['a','a','a','a','a','b','b','b','b']}df=pd.DataFrame(data)trans=tst.Time_Series_Transformer.from_pandas(pandasFrame=df,timeSeriesCol='time',mainCategoryCol='category')transdata column

The differences for Stock_Transformer is that it is required to specify High, Low, Open, Close, Volume columns. Besides these information, it has pandas-ta strategy implmentation to create technical indicator (https://github.com/twopirllc/pandas-ta). Moreover, the io class for Stock_Transformer support yfinance and investpy. We can directly extract data from these api.create technical indicatorstock=tst.Stock_Transformer.from_stock_engine_period(symbols='GOOGL',period='1y',engine='yahoo')stockdata column
