Intro

The data organization follows TFB format: https://github.com/decisionintelligence/TFB.

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
