Welcome to ticts’s documentation!¶
A Python library for unevenly-spaced timeseries analysis.
Notebooks to play around are available here.
Why ?¶
Sensors become omnipresents, and often the measurements are done at irregural time intervals. I found it hard to work with using pandas, and found myself always swithing back to the evenly-spaced timeseries world, by resampling at the lowest frequency applying a fill forward. This is definitely not how it should works ! And you loose information.
About TicTs¶
The purpose is to provide a simple and intuitive interface to manipulate this kind of data, including:
- operations (sum, sub, mul, div, max, min)
- setting intervals
- methods to pass from evenly-spaced to unevenly-spaced and vice-versa
You have to keep in mind the following rules:
- intervals are open left, closed right
- timestamp are always localized, defaulting to UTC
- setting a default value to your timeseries might be important
