        .process_natural()?;

## Architecture

The library is organized into several modules:

- **`time_series`**: Time series data structures and preprocessing
- **`visibility_graph`**: Visibility graph construction and representation
- **`features`**: Node feature computation framework
- **`features::missing_data`**: Missing data handling strategies
- **`algorithms`**: Core visibility graph algorithms

## Built-in Features

The library includes several pre-defined node features:

### Temporal Derivatives
- `DeltaForward`: y[i+1] - y[i]
- `DeltaBackward`: y[i] - y[i-1]
- `DeltaSymmetric`: (y[i+1] - y[i-1]) / 2
- `LocalSlope`: (y[i+1] - y[i-1]) / (t[i+1] - t[i-1])
- `Acceleration`: Second derivative approximation

### Local Statistics
- `LocalMean`: Average over local window
- `LocalVariance`: Variance over local window
- `ZScore`: (y[i] - mean) / std

### Extrema Detection
- `IsLocalMax`: Detects peaks
- `IsLocalMin`: Detects valleys

## Missing Data Strategies

- **LinearInterpolation**: Average of neighboring valid values
- **ForwardFill**: Use last valid value
- **BackwardFill**: Use next valid value
- **NearestNeighbor**: Use closest valid value
- **MeanImputation**: Local window mean
- **MedianImputation**: Local window median
- **ZeroFill**: Replace with zero
- **Drop**: Skip missing values

Strategies can be chained with fallbacks:

```rust
let strategy = MissingDataStrategy::LinearInterpolation
    .with_fallback(MissingDataStrategy::ForwardFill)
    .with_fallback(MissingDataStrategy::ZeroFill);

Custom Features

Simple Function

let features = FeatureSet::new()
    .add_function("log", |series, idx| {
        series[idx].map(|v| v.ln())
    });

Full Trait Implementation

use rustygraph::features::{Feature, MissingDataHandler};

struct RangeFeature {
    window: usize,
}

impl Feature<f64> for RangeFeature {
    fn compute(
        &self,
        series: &[Option<f64>],
        index: usize,
        missing_handler: &dyn MissingDataHandler<f64>,
    ) -> Option<f64> {
        let start = index.saturating_sub(self.window / 2);
        let end = (index + self.window / 2).min(series.len());
        
        let valid: Vec<f64> = series[start..end]
            .iter()
            .filter_map(|&v| v)
            .collect();
        
        if valid.is_empty() {
            return None;
        }
        
        let min = valid.iter().fold(f64::INFINITY, |a, &b| a.min(b));
        let max = valid.iter().fold(f64::NEG_INFINITY, |a, &b| a.max(b));
        Some(max - min)
    }

    fn name(&self) -> &str {
        "range"
    }

    fn requires_neighbors(&self) -> bool {
        true
    }

    fn window_size(&self) -> Option<usize> {
        Some(self.window)
    }
}

Performance

Natural visibility uses divide & conquer on the maximum without recursion: the segment in which each point is the maximum is found in O(n) with monotone stacks, then each point scans only its own segment. Every edge is found exactly once, from its taller endpoint, and the scans are independent, so large series run in parallel with no synchronisation. Cost is O(n log n) on average and O(n²) in the worst case (monotone series), the same as every known exact algorithm. Horizontal visibility is a single O(n) monotone stack. Slopes are compared by cross-multiplication, not division.

Measured against ts2vg 1.2.4 on an Apple M4 (10 cores), using scripts/benchmark_vs_ts2vg.py. Times are best of 5; ts2vg is timed on build() only. Output is identical, except that ts2vg drops a few edges that exact arithmetic confirms are visible.

Automatic engine selection: rg.visibility(...)

A single entry point picks the engine for the scenario, and explain=True shows which one it chose:

import rustygraph as rg
e = rg.visibility(y)                        # 1-D: Rust; natural VG picks scan or hull automatically
e, off = rg.visibility(Y)                   # (B, n): parallel batch of independent series
e = rg.visibility(X, "vvg")                 # (T, d): vector visibility graph
e, off = rg.visibility(W, "vvg")            # (B, w, d): batch of multivariate windows
e, off = rg.visibility(X, "multiplex")      # one layer per variable
A = rg.visibility(X, "average", output="adjacency")    # layers averaged into one weighted graph
A = rg.visibility(x_torch.requires_grad_(), output="adjacency")  # differentiable soft VG
A = rg.visibility(x_on_mps, output="adjacency")        # exact VG on the GPU, stays on device
res, plan = rg.visibility(y, explain=True)  # e.g. {'engine': 'rust', 'algorithm': 'hull', 'scan_work': ...}

Natural VG engine choice. Before building anything, RustyGraph computes the exact scan cost W = Σ|segment| in O(n).

• If scanning is cheap (W ≤ 30·n·log₂n), it runs the parallel divide & conquer scan.
• Otherwise it builds a segment tree of upper convex hulls. Long, sparse scans are handed over to "next record" queries: the next visible point is the nearest one whose linear functional exceeds a threshold, found in O(log² n) on the hulls.
• Every query tracks its own cost and hands back to linear scanning when the hull bound stops pruning (e.g. on noisy convex curves).
• The leaf decision uses the same cross-multiplication test as the scan, so every engine returns identical edges.
• The worst case falls from O(n²) to O((n + E) log² n). For example, √t with n = 100k goes from 988 ms (scan) and 24 s (ts2vg) to 30 ms.
• Force an engine with natural_visibility_edges(y, algorithm="scan"|"hull"); inspect the choice with natural_visibility_plan(y).

Streaming (autoregressive generation)

s = rg.VisibilityStream("natural", window=64)      # or horizontal / vector_natural(dim=d) / vector_horizontal
for v in generated_values:
    sources = s.push(v)          # new edges (source, len(s)-1)
edges = s.extend(values)         # bulk push, returns (E, 2)

Visibility between two points depends only on the points between them, so each push only adds edges to the new node, and a sliding window is a restriction of the sources. Engines:

• Natural: backward scan, with a logarithmic set of hull trees for long histories (mode="auto"|"scan"|"indexed").
• Horizontal: monotone stack, O(1) amortised per push.
• Vector: each earlier point keeps its steepest slope seen so far, because the projection axis depends on the earlier point.

Visibility-graph fidelity metrics for synthetic time series

res = rg.vg_fidelity(real, synthetic, window=64)   # (T,), (T, N) or (B, w, N)
res["vg_divergence"], res["baseline_vg_divergence"]  # mean JSD vs a real-vs-real noise floor

Value-distribution metrics (moments, Wasserstein, KS, MMD) cannot see temporal order: a time-shuffled copy of the data scores perfectly on all of them. vg_fidelity compares:

• natural- and horizontal-VG degree distributions;
• size-4 sequential motif profiles (rg.visibility_motifs, O(n), no graph is built; Iacovacci & Lacasa 2016);
• directed-HVG time irreversibility (Lacasa et al. 2012);
• a temporal-structure index against the exact finite-size i.i.d. null;
• for multivariate data: vector-VG degrees and motifs, plus multiplex edge overlap and interlayer mutual information (Lacasa, Nicosia & Latora 2015).

It also reports a split-half baseline, so you can tell what is sampling noise. Example: an AR(1) process against a fresh sample of the same process scores 0.0006 (baseline 0.0007). A time-shuffled copy, whose value distribution is identical, scores 0.0756.

PyTorch: differentiable and on-GPU visibility graphs (pip install pyrustygraph[torch])

rg.soft_visibility(x, kind, tau) relaxes the visibility test with log-sigmoid margins. It is differentiable with respect to the series and to tau, and it converges to the exact graph as τ → 0. rg.exact_visibility is a batched, exact dense version that runs on CUDA or MPS (bit-identical to Rust in float64). rg.VisibilityLayer is an nn.Module that is soft during training and exact otherwise, with an optional learnable τ. soft_degree_histogram lets you train a generator against real VG degree statistics.

Multivariate: vector visibility graphs

natural_vector_visibility_edges(X) and horizontal_vector_visibility_edges(X) build the vector visibility graph (Ren & Jin, 2019) of X with shape (time, features). The semantics are those of vector-vis-graph: for a < b, every vector is projected onto the direction of x_a, and the univariate criterion is applied to the projections. The same six weight methods are available. The scan stops early using a Cauchy–Schwarz bound (p_k ≤ ‖x_k‖) that provably never drops an edge. Output is identical to vector-vis-graph 0.8.1 on 4,500 random graphs and 3,245 real exchange-rate windows. Speed vs vector-vis-graph (numba, all cores):

Workload	vector-vis-graph	RustyGraph (10 threads)
n=1,000, d=8	33 ms	0.31 ms (107×)
n=5,000, d=8, random walk	3.70 s	1.08 ms (3,430×)
n=10,000, d=36, random walk	55.1 s	16.4 ms (3,364×)
n=2,000, d=64	256 ms	8.9 ms (29×)
1,000 windows 23×36, natural_vector_visibility_batch	2.30 s	3.2 ms (728×)

Zero vectors have no direction. RustyGraph treats their projections as 0, so the point sees only its successor; vector-vis-graph yields NaN and connects the point to everything.

Fastest Python path: natural_visibility_edges(y) returns an (E, 2) int64 NumPy array with the GIL released; natural_visibility_batch(Y) handles many windows in one call. The VisibilityGraph object API adds hash-map and adjacency construction and is about 2–2.7× faster than ts2vg.

Note for Maintainers: Python packages are automatically built and published to PyPI via GitHub Actions. See .github/workflows/README.md for details.

Quick Python Example

import numpy as np
import rustygraph as rg

# Fast path: edges straight into NumPy (GIL released, parallel for large n)
y = np.random.randn(100_000)
edges = rg.natural_visibility_edges(y)          # (E, 2) int64, rows (a, b), a < b
hedges = rg.horizontal_visibility_edges(y)

# Many windows at once (e.g. sliding windows for a GNN)
Y = np.random.randn(10_000, 23)
e, off = rg.natural_visibility_batch(Y)          # edges of window k: e[off[k]:off[k+1]]

import rustygraph as rg

# Load data with missing values
series = rg.TimeSeries.with_missing(
    timestamps=[0.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0],
    values=[1.0, None, 3.0, 2.0]
)

# Handle missing data
strategy = rg.MissingDataStrategy.linear_interpolation()
cleaned = series.handle_missing(strategy)

# Build graph and analyze
graph = cleaned.natural_visibility()
stats = graph.compute_statistics()
print(stats)

# Export
graph.save_dot("graph.dot")
