NNT Time Series Data Loader Description

Versatile node for loading and preprocessing time series datasets with built-in data analysis capabilities.

NNT Time Series Data Loader:

The NntTimeSeriesDataLoader is a versatile node designed to facilitate the loading and preprocessing of common time series datasets from sources like statsmodels. It is equipped with built-in capabilities for data analysis, making it an essential tool for those working with time series data. This node simplifies the process of accessing and preparing datasets such as airline passengers, sunspots, and stock returns, among others, for further analysis or modeling. By automating the data loading and preprocessing steps, it allows you to focus on the more creative aspects of your work, such as model development and interpretation of results. The node's ability to handle various datasets and its integration with preprocessing techniques make it a valuable asset for efficiently managing time series data.

NNT Time Series Data Loader Input Parameters:

dataset

The dataset parameter specifies the name of the time series dataset you wish to load. It determines which dataset from the predefined list, such as "airline_passengers" or "stock_returns", will be accessed. This parameter is crucial as it directly influences the data that will be processed and analyzed. There are no minimum or maximum values, but it must match one of the available dataset names.

start_date

The start_date parameter defines the beginning of the time period for which data should be loaded. It allows you to focus on a specific timeframe, which can be important for analyzing trends or patterns over a particular period. The format is typically a date string, and it should be within the range of the dataset's available dates.

end_date

The end_date parameter sets the endpoint of the time period for data loading. Similar to start_date, it helps in narrowing down the data to a specific timeframe. This parameter should also be a date string and must be within the dataset's available date range.

frequency

The frequency parameter indicates the time interval between data points in the series, such as daily, monthly, or yearly. It is essential for ensuring that the data is sampled at the desired rate, which can affect the analysis and modeling outcomes. The frequency should match the dataset's inherent time intervals.

preprocessing

The preprocessing parameter determines whether any preprocessing steps, such as normalization or scaling, should be applied to the data. This is important for preparing the data for analysis or modeling, as it can improve the performance and accuracy of subsequent tasks. Options typically include various preprocessing techniques.

fill_missing

The fill_missing parameter specifies how to handle missing data points within the dataset. It is crucial for maintaining data integrity and ensuring that analyses are not skewed by gaps in the data. Options may include methods like forward filling or interpolation.

return_type

The return_type parameter defines the format in which the data should be returned, such as a tensor or a DataFrame. This affects how the data can be used in subsequent processes, with different formats being more suitable for different types of analysis or modeling tasks.

sequence_length

The sequence_length parameter sets the number of time steps to include in each sequence of data. It is important for tasks like time series forecasting, where the length of the input sequence can impact the model's ability to learn patterns. The value should be chosen based on the specific requirements of the task.

prediction_horizon

The prediction_horizon parameter indicates the number of time steps into the future for which predictions should be made. It is a key factor in forecasting tasks, as it determines the extent of the model's predictive capabilities. The value should align with the goals of the analysis.

cache_dir

The cache_dir parameter specifies the directory where cached data should be stored. This can improve efficiency by avoiding repeated data loading and preprocessing. It should be a valid directory path, and if not provided, a default location may be used.

custom_filepath

The custom_filepath parameter allows you to specify a custom file path for loading data, which can be useful if you have a dataset that is not included in the predefined list. It should be a valid file path pointing to the desired dataset.

NNT Time Series Data Loader Output Parameters:

data_tensor

The data_tensor output provides the preprocessed time series data in a tensor format, ready for use in machine learning models or further analysis. This format is particularly useful for deep learning applications, where tensors are the standard input format.

error_message

The error_message output contains any error messages generated during the data loading or preprocessing process. It is important for diagnosing issues and understanding why a particular operation may have failed, allowing for troubleshooting and correction.

metadata

The metadata output includes additional information about the dataset, such as the number of data points, the time range, and any preprocessing steps applied. This information is valuable for understanding the context of the data and ensuring that it meets the requirements of your analysis or modeling tasks.

NNT Time Series Data Loader Usage Tips:

  • Ensure that the dataset parameter matches one of the available dataset names to avoid errors in data loading.
  • Use the preprocessing parameter to apply necessary data transformations, which can enhance the performance of your models.
  • Set the sequence_length and prediction_horizon parameters according to the specific needs of your forecasting task to optimize model training.

NNT Time Series Data Loader Common Errors and Solutions:

Error loading time series data: <specific_error_message>

  • Explanation: This error occurs when there is an issue with loading the specified dataset, which could be due to an incorrect dataset name, invalid date range, or file path issues.
  • Solution: Verify that the dataset name is correct and matches one of the available options. Check that the start_date and end_date are within the dataset's range and that any custom file paths are valid and accessible.
