capability__unequal_length__adds#

capability__unequal_length__adds()[source]#

Capability: transformer may produce unequal length series on equal length input.

  • String name: "capability:unequal_length:adds"

  • Public capability tag

  • Values: boolean, True / False

  • Example: True

  • Default: False

This tag is only meaningful for transformers that return time series as output, i.e., the tag scitype:transform-output is "Series" or "Panel".

The tag specifies whether the transformer can return unequal length time series on equal length time series as input.

If the tag is True, the transformer may return unequal length time series, when given equal length time series as input.

If the tag is False, the transformer will always return equal length time series, when given equal length time series as input.

Note that even if the tag is False, the transformer may still return unequal length time series, when given unequal length time series as input.

Also see the tag capability:unequal_length:removes. The typical transformer with series output will have both tags being False.
