A package for converting time series data from e.g. electronic health records into wide format data.
Project description
Timeseriesflattener
Time series from e.g. electronic health records often have a large number of variables, are sampled at irregular intervals and tend to have a large number of missing values. Before this type of data can be used for prediction modelling with machine learning methods such as logistic regression or XGBoost, the data needs to be reshaped.
In essence, the time series need to be flattened so that each prediction time is represented by a set of predictor values and an outcome value. These predictor values can be constructed by aggregating the preceding values in the time series within a certain time window.
timeseriesflattener aims to simplify this process by providing an easy-to-use and fully-specified pipeline for flattening complex time series.
🔧 Installation
To get started using timeseriesflattener simply install it using pip by running the following line in your terminal:
pip install timeseriesflattener
⚡ Quick start
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
if __name__ == "__main__":
# Load a dataframe with times you wish to make a prediction
prediction_times_df = pd.DataFrame(
{
"id": [1, 1, 2],
"date": ["2020-01-01", "2020-02-01", "2020-02-01"],
},
)
# Load a dataframe with raw values you wish to aggregate as predictors
predictor_df = pd.DataFrame(
{
"id": [1, 1, 1, 2],
"date": [
"2020-01-15",
"2019-12-10",
"2019-12-15",
"2020-01-02",
],
"value": [1, 2, 3, 4],
},
)
# Load a dataframe specifying when the outcome occurs
outcome_df = pd.DataFrame({"id": [1], "date": ["2020-03-01"], "value": [1]})
# Specify how to aggregate the predictors and define the outcome
from timeseriesflattener.feature_specs.single_specs import OutcomeSpec, PredictorSpec
from timeseriesflattener.aggregation_fns import maximum, mean
predictor_spec = PredictorSpec(
timeseries_df=predictor_df,
lookbehind_days=30,
fallback=np.nan,
aggregation_fn=mean,
feature_base_name="test_feature",
)
outcome_spec = OutcomeSpec(
timeseries_df=outcome_df,
lookahead_days=31,
fallback=0,
aggregation_fn=maximum,
feature_base_name="test_outcome",
incident=False,
)
# Instantiate TimeseriesFlattener and add the specifications
from timeseriesflattener import TimeseriesFlattener
ts_flattener = TimeseriesFlattener(
prediction_times_df=prediction_times_df,
entity_id_col_name="id",
timestamp_col_name="date",
n_workers=1,
drop_pred_times_with_insufficient_look_distance=False,
)
ts_flattener.add_spec([predictor_spec, outcome_spec])
df = ts_flattener.get_df()
df
Output:
