Trend Detection in Python. Applicable for real-world industry use cases in time series.

PyTrendy

PyTrendy is a robust solution for identifying and analyzing trends in time series. Unlike other trend detection packages, it considers post-processing. It is robust to noisy & flat segments, and handles for gradual & abrupt trend cases with a high precision. It aims to be the best package for trend detection in python.

Quickstart

Install the package from PyPi.

pip install pytrendy

Import pytrendy.

import pytrendy as pt

Load daily time series data. In this case, we're using one of pytrendy's custom examples.

df = pt.load_data('series_synthetic')
print(df)

Run trend detection & plot the results.

results = pt.detect_trends(df, date_col='date', value_col='gradual', plot=True)

The results object can be used to summarise, further analyse, and generally inspect the trend detections.

results.print_summary()

#  Detected: 
#  - 3 Uptrends. 
#  - 3 Downtrends.
#  - 3 Flats.
#  - 0 Noise.

#  The best detected trend is Down between dates 2025-05-09 - 2025-06-17

You can directly call the object as a pandas dataframe. By default, it is sorted by change_rank which prioritises long duration and high magnitude of change.
