stumpy 1.13.0

A powerful and scalable library that can be used for a variety of time series data mining tasks

STUMPY

STUMPY is a powerful and scalable Python library that efficiently computes something called the matrix profile, which is just an academic way of saying “for every (green) subsequence within your time series, automatically identify its corresponding nearest-neighbor (grey)”:

What’s important is that once you’ve computed your matrix profile (middle panel above) it can then be used for a variety of time series data mining tasks such as:

• pattern/motif (approximately repeated subsequences within a longer time series) discovery

• anomaly/novelty (discord) discovery

• shapelet discovery

• semantic segmentation

• streaming (on-line) data

• fast approximate matrix profiles

• time series chains (temporally ordered set of subsequence patterns)

• snippets for summarizing long time series

• pan matrix profiles for selecting the best subsequence window size(s)

• and more …

Whether you are an academic, data scientist, software developer, or time series enthusiast, STUMPY is straightforward to install and our goal is to allow you to get to your time series insights faster. See documentation for more information.

How to use STUMPY

Please see our API documentation for a complete list of available functions and see our informative tutorials for more comprehensive example use cases. Below, you will find code snippets that quickly demonstrate how to use STUMPY.

Typical usage (1-dimensional time series data) with STUMP:

import stumpy
import numpy as np

if __name__ == "__main__":
    your_time_series = np.random.rand(10000)
    window_size = 50  # Approximately, how many data points might be found in a pattern

    matrix_profile = stumpy.stump(your_time_series, m=window_size)

Distributed usage for 1-dimensional time series data with Dask Distributed via STUMPED:

import stumpy
import numpy as np
from dask.distributed import Client

if __name__ == "__main__":
    with Client() as dask_client:
        your_time_series = np.random.rand(10000)
        window_size = 50  # Approximately, how many data points might be found in a pattern

        matrix_profile = stumpy.stumped(dask_client, your_time_series, m=window_size)

GPU usage for 1-dimensional time series data with GPU-STUMP:

import stumpy
import numpy as np
from numba import cuda

if __name__ == "__main__":
    your_time_series = np.random.rand(10000)
    window_size = 50  # Approximately, how many data points might be found in a pattern
    all_gpu_devices = [device.id for device in cuda.list_devices()]  # Get a list of all available GPU devices

    matrix_profile = stumpy.gpu_stump(your_time_series, m=window_size, device_id=all_gpu_devices)

Multi-dimensional time series data with MSTUMP:

import stumpy
import numpy as np

if __name__ == "__main__":
    your_time_series = np.random.rand(3, 1000)  # Each row represents data from a different dimension while each column represents data from the same dimension
    window_size = 50  # Approximately, how many data points might be found in a pattern

    matrix_profile, matrix_profile_indices = stumpy.mstump(your_time_series, m=window_size)

Distributed multi-dimensional time series data analysis with Dask Distributed MSTUMPED:

import stumpy
import numpy as np
from dask.distributed import Client

if __name__ == "__main__":
    with Client() as dask_client:
        your_time_series = np.random.rand(3, 1000)   # Each row represents data from a different dimension while each column represents data from the same dimension
        window_size = 50  # Approximately, how many data points might be found in a pattern

        matrix_profile, matrix_profile_indices = stumpy.mstumped(dask_client, your_time_series, m=window_size)

Time Series Chains with Anchored Time Series Chains (ATSC):

import stumpy
import numpy as np

if __name__ == "__main__":
    your_time_series = np.random.rand(10000)
    window_size = 50  # Approximately, how many data points might be found in a pattern

    matrix_profile = stumpy.stump(your_time_series, m=window_size)

    left_matrix_profile_index = matrix_profile[:, 2]
    right_matrix_profile_index = matrix_profile[:, 3]
    idx = 10  # Subsequence index for which to retrieve the anchored time series chain for

    anchored_chain = stumpy.atsc(left_matrix_profile_index, right_matrix_profile_index, idx)

    all_chain_set, longest_unanchored_chain = stumpy.allc(left_matrix_profile_index, right_matrix_profile_index)

Semantic Segmentation with Fast Low-cost Unipotent Semantic Segmentation (FLUSS):

import stumpy
import numpy as np

if __name__ == "__main__":
    your_time_series = np.random.rand(10000)
    window_size = 50  # Approximately, how many data points might be found in a pattern

    matrix_profile = stumpy.stump(your_time_series, m=window_size)

    subseq_len = 50
    correct_arc_curve, regime_locations = stumpy.fluss(matrix_profile[:, 1],
                                                    L=subseq_len,
                                                    n_regimes=2,
                                                    excl_factor=1
                                                    )

Documentation

In order to fully understand and appreciate the underlying algorithms and applications, it is imperative that you read the original publications. For a more detailed example of how to use STUMPY please consult the latest documentation or explore our hands-on tutorials.

Performance

We tested the performance of computing the exact matrix profile using the Numba JIT compiled version of the code on randomly generated time series data with various lengths (i.e., np.random.rand(n)) along with different CPU and GPU hardware resources.

The raw results are displayed in the table below as Hours:Minutes:Seconds.Milliseconds and with a constant window size of m = 50. Note that these reported runtimes include the time that it takes to move the data from the host to all of the GPU device(s). You may need to scroll to the right side of the table in order to see all of the runtimes.

Running Tests

Tests are written in the tests directory and processed using PyTest and requires coverage.py for code coverage analysis. Tests can be executed with:

./test.sh

Python Version

STUMPY supports Python 3.8+ and, due to the use of unicode variable names/identifiers, is not compatible with Python 2.x. Given the small dependencies, STUMPY may work on older versions of Python but this is beyond the scope of our support and we strongly recommend that you upgrade to the most recent version of Python.
