Lag

class Lag(lags=0, freq=None, index_out='extend', flatten_transform_index=True)

Lagging transformer. Lags time series by one or multiple lags.

Transforms a time series into a lagged version of itself. Multiple lags can be provided, as a list. Estimator-like wrapper of pandas.shift and integer index lagging.

Lags can be provided as a simple offset, lags, or pair of (lag count, frequency), with lag count an int (lags arg) and frequency a pandas frequency descriptor.

When multiple lags are provided, multiple column concatenated copies of the lagged time series will be created. Names of columns are lagname__variablename, where lagname describes the lag/freq.

If data was provided in _fit or _update, Lag transformer memorizes those indices and uses them for computing lagged values. To use only data seen in transform, use the FitInTransform compositor.

Parameters

lagslag offset, or list of lag offsets, optional, default=0 (identity transform)

a “lag offset” can be one of the following: int - number of periods to shift/lag time-like: DateOffset, tseries.offsets, or timedelta

time delta offset to shift/lag requires time index of transformed data to be time-like (not int)

str - time rule from pandas.tseries module, e.g., “EOM”

freqfrequency descriptor of list of frequency descriptors, optional, default=None

if passed, must be scalar, or list of equal length to “lags” argument elements in freq correspond to elements in lags if i-th element of freq is not None, i-th element of lags must be int

this is called the “corresponding lags element” below

“frequency descriptor” can be one of the following: time-like: DateOffset, tseries.offsets, or timedelta

multiplied to corresponding “lags” element when shifting

str - offset from pd.tseries module, e.g., “D”, “M”, or time rule, e.g., “EOM”

index_outstr, optional, one of “shift”, “original”, “extend”, default=”extend”

determines set of output indices in lagged time series “shift” - only shifted indices are retained.

Will not create NA for single lag, but can create NA for multiple lags.

“original” - only original indices are retained. Will usually create NA. “extend” - both original indices and shifted indices are retained.

Will usually create NA, possibly many, if shifted/original do not intersect.

flatten_transform_indexbool, optional (default=True)

if True, columns of return DataFrame are flat, by “lagname__variablename” if False, columns are MultiIndex (lagname, variablename) has no effect if return mtype is one without column names

Attributes

is_fitted

Whether fit has been called.

Examples

>>> from sktime.datasets import load_airline
>>> from sktime.transformations.series.lag import Lag
>>> X = load_airline()

Single lag will yield a time series with the same variables: >>> t = Lag(2) >>> Xt = t.fit_transform(X)

Multiple lags can be provided, this will result in multiple columns: >>> t = Lag([2, 4, -1]) >>> Xt = t.fit_transform(X)

The default setting of index_out will extend indices either side. To ensure that the index remains the same after transform, use index_out=”original” >>> t = Lag([2, 4, -1], index_out=”original”) >>> Xt = t.fit_transform(X)

The lag transformer may (and usually will) create NAs. (except when index_out=”shift” and there is only a single lag, or in trivial cases) This may need to be handled, e.g., if a subsequent pipeline step does not accept NA. To deal with the NAs, pipeline with the Imputer: >>> from sktime.datasets import load_airline >>> from sktime.transformations.series.impute import Imputer >>> from sktime.transformations.series.lag import Lag >>> X = load_airline() >>> >>> t = Lag([2, 4, -1]) * Imputer(“nearest”) >>> Xt = t.fit_transform(X)

have an inverse_transform.

State required:

Requires state to be “fitted”.

Accesses in self:

Fitted model attributes ending in “_”. self._is_fitted

Parameters

XSeries or Panel, any supported mtype

Data to be inverse transformed, of python type as follows:

Series: pd.Series, pd.DataFrame, or np.ndarray (1D or 2D) Panel: pd.DataFrame with 2-level MultiIndex, list of pd.DataFrame,

A composite object is an object which contains objects, as parameters. Called on an instance, since this may differ by instance.

Returns

composite: bool, whether self contains a parameter which is BaseObject

property is_fitted

Whether fit has been called.

reset()

Reset the object to a clean post-init state.

Equivalent to sklearn.clone but overwrites self. After self.reset() call, self is equal in value to type(self)(**self.get_params(deep=False))

Detail behaviour: removes any object attributes, except:

hyper-parameters = arguments of __init__ object attributes containing double-underscores, i.e., the string “__”

runs __init__ with current values of hyper-parameters (result of get_params)

Not affected by the reset are: object attributes containing double-underscores class and object methods, class attributes

set_params(**params)

Set the parameters of this object.

The method works on simple estimators as well as on nested objects. The latter have parameters of the form <component>__<parameter> so that it’s possible to update each component of a nested object.

Parameters

**paramsdict

BaseObject parameters

Returns

selfreference to self (after parameters have been set)

set_tags(**tag_dict)

Set dynamic tags to given values.

Parameters

tag_dictdict

Returns

Self

Reference to self.

Notes

Changes object state by settting tag values in tag_dict as dynamic tags in self.

State required:

Requires state to be “fitted”.
