Time Series Essentials: Understanding Features

ResampleResample

In Python, the resample() method is used to resample time series data to a different frequency. The method is typically used on a pandas DataFrame or Series with a time-based index, and it is available through the resample() attribute of the DataFrame or Series.

The basic syntax for the resample() method is as follows:

Where:

  • rule: The resampling rule, which defines the new frequency of the data. This can be a string or pandas offset, such as 'D' for daily, 'H' for hourly, 'M' for monthly, etc.;
  • how: The aggregation function to use when resampling. This can be a string, such as 'mean' for the mean of the data, 'sum' for the sum of the data, or a custom function;
  • axis: The axis along which to resample the data. Typically, this is set to 0 for rows;
  • closed: The side of the interval to treat as closed. This can be 'left', 'right', or 'None';
  • label: The label to use for the new data. This can be 'left', 'right', or None;
  • convention: The convention to use when resampling. This can be 'start' or 'end';
  • kind: The type of resampling. This can be 'timestamp', 'period', or None;
  • loffset: The offset to use when resampling. This can be a string or a timedelta object;
  • base: The base of the offset when resampling. This is used for irregular intervals;
  • on: The column to use when resampling. This is used for multi-level data;
  • level: The level to use when resampling. This is used for multi-level data.

Task

  1. Resample to monthly frequency and get the mean of it;
  2. Print the variable.
