Time Series Feature Extraction Library
Intuitive time series feature extraction
This repository hosts the TSFEL - Time Series Feature Extraction Library python package. TSFEL assists researchers on exploratory feature extraction tasks on time series without requiring significant programming effort.
Users can interact with TSFEL using two methods:
Online
It does not requires installation as it relies on Google Colabs and a user interface provided by Google Sheets
Offline
Advanced users can take full potential of TSFEL by installing as a python package
pip install tsfelIncludes a comprehensive number of features
TSFEL is optimized for time series and automatically extracts over 60 different features on the statistical, temporal and spectral domains.
Functionalities
- Intuitive, fast deployment and reproducible: interactive UI for feature selection and customization
- Computational complexity evaluation: estimate the computational effort before extracting features
- Comprehensive documentation: each feature extraction method has a detailed explanation
- Unit tested: we provide unit tests for each feature
- Easily extended: adding new features is easy and we encourage you to contribute with your custom features
Get started
The code below extracts all the available features on an example dataset file.
import tsfel
import pandas as pd
# load dataset
df = pd.read_csv('Dataset.txt')
# Retrieves a pre-defined feature configuration file to extract all available features
cfg = tsfel.get_features_by_domain()
# Extract features
X = tsfel.time_series_features_extractor(cfg, df)Available features
