[docs]class RollingCount(TransformPrimitive):
"""Determines a rolling count of events over a given window.
Description:
Given a list of datetimes, return a rolling count starting
at the row `gap` rows away from the current row and looking backward over the specified
time window (by `window_length` and `gap`).
Input datetimes should be monotonic.
Args:
window_length (int, string, optional): Specifies the amount of data included in each window.
If an integer is provided, it will correspond to a number of rows. For data with a uniform sampling frequency,
for example of one day, the window_length will correspond to a period of time, in this case,
7 days for a window_length of 7.
If a string is provided, it must be one of pandas' offset alias strings ('1D', '1H', etc),
and it will indicate a length of time that each window should span.
The list of available offset aliases can be found at
https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/user_guide/timeseries.html#offset-aliases.
Defaults to 3.
gap (int, string, optional): Specifies a gap backwards from each instance before the
window of usable data begins. If an integer is provided, it will correspond to a number of rows.
If a string is provided, it must be one of pandas' offset alias strings ('1D', '1H', etc),
and it will indicate a length of time between a target instance and the beginning of its window.
Defaults to 1.
min_periods (int, optional): Minimum number of observations required for performing calculations
over the window. Can only be as large as window_length when window_length is an integer.
When window_length is an offset alias string, this limitation does not exist, but care should be taken
to not choose a min_periods that will always be larger than the number of observations in a window.
Defaults to 1.
Note:
Only offset aliases with fixed frequencies can be used when defining gap and h.
This means that aliases such as `M` or `W` cannot be used, as they can indicate different
numbers of days. ('M', because different months have different numbers of days;
'W' because week will indicate a certain day of the week, like W-Wed, so that will
indicate a different number of days depending on the anchoring date.)
Note:
When using an offset alias to define `gap`, an offset alias must also be used to define `window_length`.
This limitation does not exist when using an offset alias to define `window_length`. In fact,
if the data has a uniform sampling frequency, it is preferable to use a numeric `gap` as it is more
efficient.
Examples:
>>> import pandas as pd
>>> rolling_count = RollingCount(window_length=3)
>>> times = pd.date_range(start='2019-01-01', freq='1min', periods=5)
>>> rolling_count(times).tolist()
[nan, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 3.0]
We can also control the gap before the rolling calculation.
>>> import pandas as pd
>>> rolling_count = RollingCount(window_length=3, gap=0)
>>> times = pd.date_range(start='2019-01-01', freq='1min', periods=5)
>>> rolling_count(times).tolist()
[1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 3.0, 3.0]
We can also control the minimum number of periods required for the rolling calculation.
>>> import pandas as pd
>>> rolling_count = RollingCount(window_length=3, min_periods=3, gap=0)
>>> times = pd.date_range(start='2019-01-01', freq='1min', periods=5)
>>> rolling_count(times).tolist()
[nan, nan, 3.0, 3.0, 3.0]
We can also set the window_length and gap using offset alias strings.
>>> import pandas as pd
>>> rolling_count = RollingCount(window_length='3min', gap='1min')
>>> times = pd.date_range(start='2019-01-01', freq='1min', periods=5)
>>> rolling_count(times).tolist()
[nan, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 3.0]
