capability__unequal_length#

capability__unequal_length()[source]#

Capability: the estimator can handle unequal length time series.

String name: "capability:unequal_length"
Public capability tag
Values: boolean, True / False
Example: True
Default: False

Tag applicable to estimators which can accept panel data, i.e., collections of time series.

If the tag is True, the estimator can handle panels of time series with unequal index set, including panels of time series with unequal length.

It should be noted that the capability implied by the tag is strictly more general than the capability implied by the name of the tag, as panels of time series of equal length can have unequal index sets.

If the tag is False, the estimator requires all time series in the panel to have equal length and index set, and will otherwise raise an error.
