ThetaLinesTransformer

ThetaLinesTransformer

class ThetaLinesTransformer(theta=(0, 2))[source]

Decompose the original data into two or more Theta-lines.

Implementation of decomposition for Theta-method [1] as described in [2].

Overview: Input univariate series of length “n” and ThetaLinesTransformer modifies the local curvature of the time series using Theta-coefficient values passed through the parameter theta.

Each Theta-coefficient is applied directly to the second differences of the input series. The resulting transformed series (Theta-lines) are returned as a pd.DataFrame of shape len(input series) * len(theta).

Parameters:
thetasequence of float, default=(0,2)

Theta-coefficients to use in transformation.

Attributes:
is_fitted

Whether fit has been called.

Notes

Depending on the value of the Theta-coefficient, Theta-lines either augment the long-term trend (0 < Theta < 1) or the the short-term behaviour (Theta > 1).

Special cases:
  • Theta == 0 : deflates input data to linear trend

  • Theta == 1 : returns data unchanged

  • Theta < 0 : transforms time series and mirrors it along the linear trend.

Examples

>>> from sktime.transformations.theta import ThetaLinesTransformer
>>> from sktime.datasets import load_airline
>>> y = load_airline()
>>> transformer = ThetaLinesTransformer([0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75])
>>> y_thetas = transformer.fit_transform(y)
