class HierarchicalDask(is_univariate=None, is_equally_spaced=None, is_equal_length=None, is_empty=None, is_one_series=None, is_one_panel=None, has_nans=None, n_instances=None, n_panels=None, n_features=None, feature_names=None, dtypekind_dfip=None, feature_kind=None)[source]

Data type: dask frame based specification of hierarchical series.

Name: "dask_hierarchical"

Short description: A dask.DataFrame where hierarchy is represented using explicit columns instead of a traditional index, and time is recorded in a dedicated column.

Long description: The "dask_hierarchical" mtype is a concrete specification of the Hierarchical scitype, which represents a hierarchically structured collection of time series.

An object obj: dask.DataFrame follows the specification iff:

structure convention: obj must have at least three index columns, where:
- The first n-1 index columns define the hierarchy.
- The last index column represents time.
- All index columns must be explicitly named following the pattern __index__*, such as __index__0, __index__1, …, __index__N-1.
hierarchy level: rows with the same values in the hierarchy columns belong to the same hierarchy unit, while different hierarchy values correspond to different hierarchy units.
hierarchy: the hierarchy structure is explicitly encoded in columns rather than an index.
time index: the last column in the index set is interpreted as a time column. It must be one of Int64, RangeIndex, DatetimeIndex or PeriodIndex, and must be monotonically increasing.
time points: rows with the same value in the time column correspond to the same time point.
variables: columns excluding the hierarchy and time columns correspond to variables.
variable names: column names are taken from obj.columns.

Capabilities: * can represent multivariate hierarchical series. * can represent unequally spaced hierarchical series. * can represent unequally supported hierarchical series. * cannot represent hierarchical series with different sets of variables. * can represent missing values.

Parameters:

is_univariate: bool: True iff table has one variable
is_equally_spacedbool: True iff series index is equally spaced
is_equal_length: bool: True iff all series in panel are of equal length
is_empty: bool: True iff table has no variables or no instances
is_one_series: bool: True iff there is only one series in the hierarchical collection.
is_one_panel: bool: True iff there is only one flat panel in the hierarchical collection, i.e., the collection has a flat hierarchy, plus additional hierarchy levels that have only a single value.
has_nans: bool: True iff the table contains NaN values
n_instances: int: number of instances in the hierarchical collection
n_panels: int: number of flat panels in the hierarchical collection
n_features: int: number of variables in table
feature_names: list of int or object: names of variables in table
dtypekind_dfip: list of DtypeKind enum: list of DtypeKind enum values for each feature in the panel, following the data frame interface protocol
feature_kind: list of str: list of feature kind strings for each feature in the panel, coerced to FLOAT or CATEGORICAL type
