STL Decompose
=============

This is a relatively naive Python implementation of a seasonal and trend decomposition using Loess smoothing. Commonly referred to as an "STL decomposition", Cleveland's 1990 paper is the canonical reference.

This implementation is a variation of (and takes inspiration from) the implementation of the ``seasonal_decompose`` method `in statsmodels `_. In this implementation, the trend component is calculated by substituting a configurable `Loess regression `_ for the convolutional method used in ``seasonal_decompose``. It also extends the existing ``DecomposeResult`` from ``statsmodels`` to allow for forecasting based on the calculated decomposition.

Usage
-----

The ``stldecompose`` package is relatively lightweight. It uses ``pandas.Dataframe`` for inputs and outputs, and exposes only a couple of primary methods - ``decompose()`` and ``forecast()`` - as well as a handful of built-in forecasting functions.

See `the included IPython notebook `_ for more details and usage examples.

Installation
------------

A Python 3 virtual environment is recommended.

The preferred method of installation is via ``pip``::

(env) $ pip install stldecompose

If you'd like the bleeding-edge version, you can also install from this Github repo::

(env) $ git clone [email protected]:jrmontag/STLDecompose.git
(env) $ cd STLDecompose; pip install .
