πŸ’« Features

Our objective is to enhance the interoperability and usability of the time series analysis ecosystem in its entirety. sktime provides a unified interface for distinct but related time series learning tasks. It features dedicated time series algorithms and tools for composite model building, such as pipelining, ensembling, tuning, and reduction, empowering users to apply algorithms designed for one task to another.

sktime also provides interfaces to related libraries, for example scikit-learn, statsmodels, tsfresh, PyOD, and fbprophet, among others.

⏳ Install sktime

For troubleshooting and detailed installation instructions, see the documentation.

  • Operating system: macOS X Β· Linux Β· Windows 8.1 or higher
  • Python version: Python 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, and 3.12 (only 64-bit)
  • Package managers: pip Β· conda (via conda-forge)

pip

Using pip, sktime releases are available as source packages and binary wheels. Available wheels are listed here.

pip install sktime

or, with maximum dependencies,

pip install sktime[all_extras]

For curated sets of soft dependencies for specific learning tasks:

pip install sktime[forecasting]  # for selected forecasting dependencies
pip install sktime[forecasting,transformations]  # forecasters and transformers

or similar. Valid sets are:

  • forecasting
  • transformations
  • classification
  • regression
  • clustering
  • param_est
  • networks
  • annotation
  • alignment

Cave: in general, not all soft dependencies for a learning task are installed, only a curated selection.

conda

You can also install sktime from conda via the conda-forge channel. The feedstock including the build recipe and configuration is maintained in this conda-forge repository.

conda install -c conda-forge sktime

or, with maximum dependencies,

conda install -c conda-forge sktime-all-extras

(as conda does not support dependency sets, flexible choice of soft dependencies is unavailable via conda)

⚑ Quickstart

Forecasting

from sktime.datasets import load_airline
from sktime.forecasting.base import ForecastingHorizon
from sktime.forecasting.theta import ThetaForecaster
from sktime.split import temporal_train_test_split
from sktime.performance_metrics.forecasting import mean_absolute_percentage_error

y = load_airline()
y_train, y_test = temporal_train_test_split(y)
fh = ForecastingHorizon(y_test.index, is_relative=False)
forecaster = ThetaForecaster(sp=12)  # monthly seasonal periodicity
forecaster.fit(y_train)
y_pred = forecaster.predict(fh)
mean_absolute_percentage_error(y_test, y_pred)
>>> 0.08661467738190656

Time Series Classification

from sktime.classification.interval_based import TimeSeriesForestClassifier
from sktime.datasets import load_arrow_head
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
from sklearn.metrics import accuracy_score

X, y = load_arrow_head()
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y)
classifier = TimeSeriesForestClassifier()
classifier.fit(X_train, y_train)
y_pred = classifier.predict(X_test)
accuracy_score(y_test, y_pred)
>>> 0.8679245283018868
