evalml.pipelines.components.transformers.preprocessing.TimeSeriesFeaturizer(time_index=None, max_delay=2, gap=0, forecast_horizon=1, conf_level=0.05, rolling_window_size=0.25, delay_features=True, delay_target=True, random_seed=0, **kwargs)[source]¶ Transformer that delays input features and target variable for time series problems.
This component uses an algorithm based on the autocorrelation values of the target variable to determine which lags to select from the set of all possible lags.
The algorithm is based on the idea that the local maxima of the autocorrelation function indicate the lags that have the most impact on the present time.
The algorithm computes the autocorrelation values and finds the local maxima, called “peaks”, that are significant at the given conf_level. Since lags in the range [0, 10] tend to be predictive but not local maxima, the union of the peaks is taken with the significant lags in the range [0, 10]. At the end, only selected lags in the range [0, max_delay] are used.
Parametrizing the algorithm by conf_level lets the AutoMLAlgorithm tune the set of lags chosen so that the chances of finding a good set of lags is higher.
Using conf_level value of 1 selects all possible lags.
- Parameters
time_index (str) – Name of the column containing the datetime information used to order the data. Ignored.
max_delay (int) – Maximum number of time units to delay each feature. Defaults to 2.
forecast_horizon (int) – The number of time periods the pipeline is expected to forecast.
conf_level (float) – Float in range (0, 1] that determines the confidence interval size used to select which lags to compute from the set of [1, max_delay]. A delay of 1 will always be computed. If 1, selects all possible lags in the set of [1, max_delay], inclusive.
rolling_window_size (float) – Float in range (0, 1] that determines the size of the window used for rolling features. Size is computed as rolling_window_size * max_delay.
delay_features (bool) – Whether to delay the input features. Defaults to True.
delay_target (bool) – Whether to delay the target. Defaults to True.
gap (int) – The number of time units between when the features are collected and when the target is collected. For example, if you are predicting the next time step’s target, gap=1. This is only needed because when gap=0, we need to be sure to start the lagging of the target variable at 1. Defaults to 1.
random_seed (int) – Seed for the random number generator. This transformer performs the same regardless of the random seed provided.
