tsg-lib 0.1.2

A modular library for synthetic time series generation.

tsg – Modular Time Series Generator Library

tsg is a lightweight Python library for generating synthetic time series data using modular and composable generators.
It is designed for research, simulation, and testing of sequential decision-making algorithms, especially in finance and machine learning.

🚀 Features

• 📈 Core generators: linear trend, periodic trend, constant value
• 🎲 Noise wrappers: add Gaussian noise or build your own modifiers
• 🔁 Stateful generators with reset() support
• 🧱 Easy to extend with your own generator or modifier classes

🛠️ Example Usage

Here’s how to generate a noisy linear trend time series using tsg:

from tsg.generators import LinearTrendGenerator
from tsg.modifiers import GaussianNoise

# Create a linear trend generator (increasing by +1 each step)
base_generator = LinearTrendGenerator(start_price=100, up=True)

# Wrap it with Gaussian noise (mean=0, std=1)
noisy_generator = GaussianNoise(base_generator, mu=0.0, sigma=1.0)

# Generate a few data points
prices = []
for _ in range(10):
    price = noisy_generator.generate_price(None)
    prices.append(price)

print(prices)

🧠 API Overview

Core Generators (tsg.generators)

Class	Description
LinearTrendGenerator	Linearly increases or decreases the price at each step
ConstantGenerator	Returns a fixed price (e.g., simulates cash)
PeriodicTrendGenerator	Generates a sinusoidal time series with set amplitude and frequency

Modifier Wrappers (tsg.modifiers)

Class	Description
GaussianNoise	Adds Gaussian noise (N(mu, sigma)) to any base generator

All components implement the BaseGenerator interface with:

• generate_price(last_price) – returns the next value in the sequence
• reset() – resets any internal state (optional for stateless generators)
