Available Methods

TS Class

Each method has its specific functionality related to the analysis and manipulation of time series data. You can use these methods to perform various tasks on time series data, including data loading, statistical analysis, stationarity tests, decomposition, differencing, transformation, and SARIMA modeling.

1. TS.statistical_data(df, target): This method calculates various statistical properties of a time series, such as mean, median, standard deviation, minimum, maximum, percentiles, coefficient of variation, skewness, and kurtosis. It returns these statistics as a dictionary.

2. TS.unit_root_tests(df, target, test='adf', alpha="5%"): This method performs unit root tests to determine if a time series is stationary. It supports three different tests: Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF), Kwiatkowski-Phillips-Schmidt-Shin (KPSS), and Phillips Perron (PP). It returns diagnostic information and, if necessary, performs differencing to make the series stationary.

3. TS.apply_decomposition(df, target, seasonal_period, model='additive'): This method applies seasonal decomposition to a time series, separating it into trend, seasonality, and residuals. You can specify the type of decomposition (additive or multiplicative) and the seasonal period.

5. TS.apply_transformation(df, target, method='box-cox'): This method applies transformations to a time series. It supports three transformation methods: Box-Cox, Yeo-Johnson, and logarithmic. It returns the transformed time series.

6. TS.sarima_model(df, target, p=0, d=0, q=0, P=0, D=0, Q=0, s=0): This method fits an ARIMA model to a time series by specifying the orders of the autoregressive (AR), differencing (d), and moving average (MA) components. It can also fit a SARIMA model by modifying the other four parameters: seasonal autoregressive order (P), seasonal differencing (D), seasonal moving average (Q), and seasonal periods (s). It returns the results of fitting the ARIMA/SARIMA model.

Class Graphs_ts

These methods are useful for exploring and understanding time series data, identifying patterns, and evaluating model assumptions. To use these methods, you should pass a pandas DataFrame containing time series data and specify the relevant columns and parameters.

7. Graphs_ts.plot_autocorrelation(df, value_col, lags=24, alpha=0.05): This method visualizes the autocorrelation function (ACF), partial autocorrelation function (PACF), and seasonal ACF of a time series (SACF and SPACF). You can specify the number of lags and the significance level of the tests.
8. Graphs_ts.plot_seasonality_trend_residuals(df, value_col, period=12, model='additive'): This method decomposes a time series into its trend, seasonality, and residual components using an additive or multiplicative model. It then plots these components along with the original time series.
9. Graphs_ts.plot_box_plot(df, time_col, value_col, group_by='year'): This method generates and displays box plots to visualize data grouped by year, month, day, etc. You can specify the time column, value column, and grouping option.
10. Graphs_ts.plot_correlogram(df, value='value', max_lag=10, title='Correlogram Plot'): This method creates and displays a correlogram (autocorrelation plot) for a time series. It helps identify correlations between different lags in the series.

2. DL.model_FNN(...): Creates a customizable Feedforward Neural Network (FNN) model using Tensorflow. You can explore the customizable parameters within the docstring.

Install

To use the classes ML, EDA, Graphs_ml, Graphs_eda, DL, and Tools, simply import the class in your code:

from ale_uy.eda import EDA, Graphs_eda
from ale_uy.ml import ML, Tools, Graphs_ml
from ale_uy.ts import TS, Graphs_ts, Propheta
from ale_uy.dl import DL

Usage Example

Here's an example of how to use the EDA and ML classes to preprocess data and train a LightGBM model for a binary classification problem:

# Import the ml and eda modules with their respective classes
from ale_uy.ml import ML, Tools, Graphs_ml

from ale_uy.eda import EDA, Graphs_eda

# Load the data into a DataFrame
data = pd.read_csv(...)  # Your DataFrame with the data

# Data preprocessing with the target variable named 'target'
preprocessed_data = EDA.perform_full_eda(data, target='target')

# Train the LightGBM classification model and obtain its metrics
ML.lightgbm_model(preprocessed_data, target='target', problem_type='classification')

# If the model fits our needs, we can simply save it by adding the 'save_model=True' attribute
ML.lightgbm_model(preprocessed_data, target='target', problem_type='classification', save_model=True)
# It will be saved as "lightgbm.pkl"

To use the saved model with new data, we will use the following code

import joblib

# File path and name where the model was saved
model_filename = "model_filename.pkl"
# Load the model
loaded_model = joblib.load(model_filename)
# Now you can use the loaded model to make predictions
# Suppose you have a dataset 'X_test' for making predictions
y_pred = loaded_model.predict(X_test)
