views-transformation-library 2.7.2

A package containing data transformation functions used by the ViEWS team

ViEWS Transformation Library

This package contains transforms made available in ViEWS cloud. The transforms are all locally available, and do not depend on remote resources or credentials.

Contributing:

There is an urgent need to fill this library with transforms. Transforms we need, that are not implemented, are listed under issues. Please follow the guidelines for contributing outlined in the CONTRIBUTING.md document.

Usage:

pip install views-transformation-library

from views_transformation_library.timelag import timelag
import viewser

ged_best_ns = viewser.get_variable("priogrid_month","priogrid_month.ged_best_ns",2010,2020)
lagged_data = timelag(ged_best_ns,10)

lagged_from_api = viewser.get_variable("priogrid_month","ged_best_ns",2010,2020,transforms:[
   {"type":"tlag","args":[10]}
])

assert lagged_from_api == lagged_data

API:

Each transform function operates on a pandas dataframe.
