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

Why PyTrendy?

Most time series tools give you either a "trend component" (via decomposition) or "changepoints" (the moments of shift). PyTrendy is built for automated trend detection, answering what trends existed, how strong were they, and when did they start and end?

  • Beyond step changes - ruptures is the gold standard for abrupt shifts, but it doesn't handle gradual slope changes (digital marketing, stocks, energy). PyTrendy detects both in a single run.
  • The flat/noise problem - closest peers (pytrendseries, trendet, tstrends) over-fit trends on flat or noisy periods. PyTrendy's signal-processing and post-processing logic ensures trends are only detected when they are precise and valid.
  • Strategic value - where dozens of time series interact, knowing how they align or confound at specific times is invaluable for experiment design.

Features

Quickstart

Install the package from PyPi.

pip install pytrendy

Import pytrendy, and apply trend detection on daily time series data.

import pytrendy as pt
df = pt.load_data('series_synthetic')
results = pt.detect_trends(df, date_col='date', value_col='gradual', plot=True)
results.print_summary()

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

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