class SeriesXarray(is_univariate=None, is_equally_spaced=None, is_empty=None, has_nans=None, n_features=None, feature_names=None, dtypekind_dfip=None, feature_kind=None)[source]

Data type: xarray based specification of single time series.

Name: xr.DataArray

Short description:

An xarray.DataArray representing a single time series, where:

  • Each row corresponds to a time point.

  • Columns represent variables or features.

  • Coordinates provide additional metadata for the time index and variables.

Long description:

The xr.DataArray :term:mtype is a concrete specification that implements the Series :term:scitype, i.e., the abstract type for time series data.

An object obj: xarray.DataArray follows the specification iff:

  • structure convention:

    • obj is a 2D array-like structure with shape (n_timepoints, n_features).

    • obj.coords must include:

      • A time-like index (dim_0) which is either Int64Index, RangeIndex, DatetimeIndex, or PeriodIndex, and it must be monotonic.

      • A variable-like index (dim_1) for feature/variable names (optional).

  • time index:

    • The dim_0 coordinate is interpreted as the time index.

  • time points:

    • Each row of obj represents a single time point.

    • Rows with the same dim_0 value correspond to the same time point.

  • variables:

    • Columns represent different variables (or features).

    • Column names are stored in dim_1 if present.

  • variable names:

    • The variable names are the column names (dim_1), if present.

  • metadata:

    • Additional metadata (e.g., attributes) may be included in obj.attrs.

Capabilities:

  • can represent univariate or multivariate time series

  • requires equally spaced time points (if time index is specified)

  • supports missing values

  • cannot represent series with differing sets of variables

Parameters:
is_univariate: bool

True iff series has one variable

is_equally_spaced: bool

True iff series index is equally spaced

is_empty: bool

True iff series has no variables or no instances

has_nans: bool

True iff the series contains NaN values

n_features: int

number of variables in series

feature_names: list of int or object

names of variables in series

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
