BeTiSe — Benchmark Time Series Generator

A Python library for generating synthetic time series datasets with configurable statistical properties and rich metadata.

Installation

pip install betise

Quick Start

from betise import generate_dataframe, load_config

cfg = load_config(dataset={"base_series": "arma", "num_series": 5, "length_range": [300, 500]})
df, ctx = generate_dataframe(cfg)
print(df[["series_id", "time", "data", "primary_category"]].head())

Save to parquet and add feature overlays:

from betise import run, load_config

cfg = load_config(dataset={
    "base_series":  "ar",
    "num_series":   100,
    "length_range": [300, 700],
    "output_dir":   "output",
    "output_name":  "ar_trend.parquet",
    "features": {
        "linear_trend":       {"enabled": True, "direction": "upward"},
        "point_anomaly":      {"enabled": True, "is_spike": True},
    },
})
run(cfg)

Series Types

Feature Overlays

Multiple features can be stacked on top of any base type:
