## TFB data format |
|
|
|
TFB stores time series in a format of three column long tables, which we will introduce below: |
|
|
|
### Format Introduction |
|
|
|
**First column: date** (the exact column name is required, the same applies below.) |
|
|
|
- The columns stores the time information in the time series, which can be in either of the following formats: |
|
- Timestamps in string, datetime, or other types that are compatible with pd.to_datetime; |
|
- Integers starting from 1, e.g. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ... |
|
|
|
|
|
**Second column: data** |
|
|
|
- This column stores the series values corresponding to the timestamps. |
|
|
|
**Third column: cols** |
|
|
|
- This column stores the column name (variable name). |
|

### Multivariate time series example: |
|
|
|
**A common time series in wide table format:** |
|
|
|
| date | channel1 | channel2 | channel3 | |
|
| ---- | -------- | -------- | -------- | |
|
| 1 | 0.1 | 1 | 10 | |
|
| 2 | 0.2 | 2 | 20 | |
|
| 3 | 0.3 | 3 | 30 | |
|
|
|
**Convert to TFB format:** |
|
|
|
| date | data | cols | |
|
| ---- | ---- | -------- | |
|
| 1 | 0.1 | channel1 | |
|
| 2 | 0.2 | channel1 | |
|
| 3 | 0.3 | channel1 | |
|
| 1 | 1 | channel2 | |
|
| 2 | 2 | channel2 | |
|
| 3 | 3 | channel2 | |
|
| 1 | 10 | channel3 | |
|
| 2 | 20 | channel3 | |
|
| 3 | 30 | channel3 | |
