rocc 3.0.2

rocc - Rate-of-change check for time series




from rocc import Threshold, rocc

result = rocc(
timeseries=a_htimeseries_object,
thresholds=(
Threshold("10min", 10),
Threshold("20min", 15),
Threshold("H", 40),
),
symmetric=True,
flag="MYFLAG",
)
timeseries is a HTimeseries object. thresholds is, obviously,
a list of thresholds. Threshold is a named tuple whose items are
delta_t (a pandas interval specification) and allowed_diff (a
floating point number).
The function checks whether there exist intervals during which the value
of the time series changes by more than the specified threshold. The
offending records are flagged with the specified flag.
It returns a list of strings describing where the thresholds have been
exceeded.
If flag is None or the empty string, then the offending records
are not flagged, and the only result is the returned value.
Here is an example time series:
2020-10-06 14:30 24.0
2020-10-06 14:40 25.0
2020-10-06 14:50 36.0 *
2020-10-06 15:01 51.0
2020-10-06 15:21 55.0
2020-10-06 15:31 65.0
2020-10-06 15:41 75.0 *
2020-10-06 15:51 70.0
After running rocc() with the thresholds specified in the
example above, the records marked with a star will be flagged. The
record 14:50 will be flagged because in the preceding 10-minute
interval the value increases by 11, which is more than 10. The record
15:41 will be flagged because in the preceding 20-minute interval
the value increases by 20, which is more than 15. The record 15:01
will be unflagged; although there’s a large difference since 14:40,
this is 21 minutes, not 20, so the 20-minute threshold of 15 does not
apply; likewise, there’s a difference of 15 from 14:50, which does
not exceed the 20-minute threshold of 15, and while it does exceed the
10-minute threshold of 10, it’s 11 minutes, not 10. There’s also not any
difference larger than 40 within an hour anywhere.
The return value in this example will be a list of two strings:
"2020-10-06T14:50 +11.0 in 10min (> 10.0)"
"2020-10-06T15:41 +20.0 in 20min (> 15.0)"
The return value should only be used for consumption by humans; it is
subject to change.
If symmetric is True, it is the absolute value of the change
that matters, not its direction. In this case, allowed_diff must be
positive. If symmetric is False (the default), only rates larger
than positive allow_diff or rates smaller than negative
allow_diff are flagged.


History

3.0.2 (2024-04-17)

Compatible with htimeseries 7.



3.0.1 (2023-12-20)

Compatible with htimeseries 6.



3.0.0 (2022-12-01)

Compatible with htimeseries 4, which uses aware timestamps.



2.0.0 (2020-02-11)

rocc() now returns a list of strings with descriptions of where the
thresholds have been exceeded.
The default flag is now to not add any flags.
A bug has been fixed where it would crash if input time series was
empty.
