SignatureMoments

SignatureMoments

class SignatureMoments(degree=2, use_index=True, normalize_prod=False)[source]

Signature Moments Transformer for multivariate time series.

Computes time ordered signature moments for uni- and multivariate time series.

Pipelining Differencer() * SignatureMoments() can be used to obtain the discrete path signature.

For a degree d, the columns of the transform output are strings corresponding to strings of length d over the alphabet {[0], ..., [str(n_channels - 1)]}, where n_channels is the number of variables in the time series, and the character i represents the i-th variable.

If use_index=True, the time index is included as an additional dimension, and is represented by the character [n_channels].

For a time series \(X\) with n_channels variables, the signature moment for a string \(s = i_1 i_2 ... i_d\) is the arithmetic mean of the products

\[X_{i_1}(t_1) X_{i_2}(t_2) ... X_{i_d}(t_d)\]

where \(t_1 < t_2 < ... < t_d\) are the time indices.

If normalize_prod=True, the signature moment is computed as the arithmetic mean of the geometric means instead, i.e., of

\[(X_{i_1}(t_1) X_{i_2}(t_2) ... X_{i_d}(t_d))^{1/d}\]

This ensures that all signature moments are of the same unit as the input data.

Parameters:
degree: int, default=2

The maximum length of the string-based signature elements to include. Degree can be upto 3.

use_index: bool, default=True

Whether to include the time index as an additional dimension.

normalize_prod: bool, default=False

If True, uses geometric mean instead of product for the signature moment, see above for formula. If False, uses product.

Attributes:
is_fitted

Whether fit has been called.

Examples

>>> from sktime.transformations.signature import SignatureMoments
>>> from sktime.datasets import load_airline
>>> y = load_airline()
>>> transformer = SignatureMoments(degree=2, use_index=True)
>>> Xt = transformer.fit_transform(y)
