featuretools.primitives.Trend

class featuretools.primitives.Trend

Calculates the trend of a column over time.

Description:

Given a list of values and a corresponding list of datetimes, calculate the slope of the linear trend of values.

Examples

>>> from datetime import datetime
>>> trend = Trend()
>>> times = [datetime(2010, 1, 1, 11, 45, 0),
...          datetime(2010, 1, 1, 11, 55, 15),
...          datetime(2010, 1, 1, 11, 57, 30),
...          datetime(2010, 1, 1, 11, 12),
...          datetime(2010, 1, 1, 11, 12, 15)]
>>> round(trend([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], times), 3)
-0.053
