A Python implementation of seasonal trend with Loess (STL) time series decomposition

Project description

This is a relatively naive Python implementation of the “Seasonal and Trend decomposition using Loess” time series decomposition (“STL decomposition,” Cleveland et al. 1990 [pdf]).

This implementation is a variation of (and takes inspiration from) the current implementation of the seasonal_decompose method in statsmodels. In this implementation, the trend component is calculated by substituting a configurable Loess regression for the convolutional method used in seasonal_decompose. It also extends the existing DecomposeResult from statsmodels to allow for forecasting based on the calculated decomposition.

Usage

The stldecompose package is relatively lightweight. It uses pandas.Dataframe for inputs and outputs, and exposes only a couple of primary methods - decompose() and forecast() - as well as a handful of built-in forecasting functions.

See the included IPython notebook for more details and usage examples.

Installation

A Python 3 virtual environment is recommended.

The preferred method of installation is via pip:

(env) $ pip install stldecompose

If you’d like the bleeding-edge version, you can also install from this Github repo:

(env) $ git clone git@github.com:jrmontag/STLDecompose.git
(env) $ cd STLDecompose; pip install .
