A time-series feature is a summary statistic which returns a scalar for each time series which summarises some property, such as the value of the autocorrelation function at lag 1, or the variance of sliding window variances taken across the time series (see [this paper](https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/abs/10.1098/rsif.2013.0048), [this paper](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2405471217304386), and [this book chapter](https://www.taylorfrancis.com/chapters/edit/10.1201/9781315181080-4/feature-based-time-series-analysis-ben-fulcher) for more).\n\nTime-average features -- such as `mean(Xt * Xt+1)` -- have shown utility in solving time-series problems across the sciences but have yet to be systematically applied to time-series classification problems. Time-average features are desirable quantities because they are highly interpretable—for example, `mean(Xt * Xt+1)` represents the average of the product of values at each time point and the time point one ahead of it. In the case of *z*-scored data, this represents the autocorrelation function at\nlag 1. This interpretability then leads to an intuitive understanding of why two or more classes might be well distinguished from one another. Once identified, useful and informative time-average features can then be used to either infer differences in temporal dynamics or train a further state-of-the-art classification algorithm for out-of-sample prediction.\n\n## Development\n\n`timegpy` is still an active work-in-progress. Please check back\nregularly for updates and/or new functionality.","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fhendersontrent%2Ftimegpy","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fhendersontrent%2Ftimegpy","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fhendersontrent%2Ftimegpy/lists"}
