KydLIB: Know Your Data Library

KydLIB is a Python module that provides tools for exploratory data analysis. It is specially designed to work with time series data typically obtained from process system engineering (PSE) applications, although it can also be useful for many types of data.

There are methods for analyzing and visualizing:

• linear and nonlinear pair correlations;
• autocorrelations;
• signal-to-noise ratios;
• multivariate Gaussianity.

Installation

With pip

pip install kydlib

With conda

conda install -c conda-forge kydlib

Usage

Let's download a dataset from the Tennessee Eastman Process benchmark to serve as an example:

import pandas as pd

url = 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/camaramm/tennessee-eastman-profBraatz/master/d00_te.dat'
df = pd.read_csv(url, delim_whitespace=True, header=None).iloc[:,:22]

To use KydLIB, we must instantiate a Study object providing the data to be analyzed:

import kydlib

s = kydlib.Study(df)

We are now ready to do the exploratory data analysis.

Lineplots

s.lineplot()

Scatterplots

s.scatterplot()

Linear and nonlinear correlations

s.corr_coef()
s.corr_coef_plot()

Autocorrelation

s.autocorrelation()
s.autocorrelation_plot()

Signal-to-noise ratio

s.signal_to_noise()
s.signal_to_noise_plot()

Multivariate Gaussianity

s.gaussianity()
s.gaussianity_plot()
