## Transformation utilities¶

eemeter.as_freq(meter_data_series, freq, atomic_freq='1 Min')

Resample meter data to a different frequency.

This method can be used to upsample or downsample meter data. The assumption it makes to do so is that meter data is constant and averaged over the given periods. For instance, to convert billing-period data to daily data, this method first upsamples to the atomic frequency (1 minute freqency, by default), “spreading” usage evenly across all minutes in each period. Then it downsamples to hourly frequency and returns that result.

Caveats:

• This method gives a fair amount of flexibility in resampling as long as you are OK with the assumption that usage is constant over the period (this assumption is generally broken in observed data at large enough frequencies, so this caveat should not be taken lightly).
• This method should not be used for sampled (e.g., temperature data) rather than recorded data (e.g., meter data), as sampled data cannot be “spread” in the same way.
Parameters: meter_data_series (pandas.Series) – Meter data to resample. Should have a pandas.DatetimeIndex. freq (str) – The frequency to resample to. This should be given in a form recognized by the pandas.Series.resample method. atomic_freq (str, optional) – The “atomic” frequency of the intermediate data form. This can be adjusted to a higher atomic frequency to increase speed or memory performance. resampled_meter_data – Meter data resampled to the given frequency. pandas.Series
eemeter.day_counts(index)

Days between DatetimeIndex values as a pandas.Series.

Parameters: index (pandas.DatetimeIndex) – The index for which to get day counts. day_counts – A pandas.Series with counts of days between periods. Counts are given on start dates of periods. pandas.Series
eemeter.get_baseline_data(data, start=None, end=None, max_days=365)

Filter down to baseline period data.

Note

For compliance with CalTRACK, set max_days=365 (section 2.2.1.1).

Parameters: data (pandas.DataFrame or pandas.Series) – The data to filter to baseline data. This data will be filtered down to an acceptable baseline period according to the dates passed as start and end, or the maximum period specified with max_days. start (datetime.datetime) – A timezone-aware datetime that represents the earliest allowable start date for the baseline data. The stricter of this or max_days is used to determine the earliest allowable baseline period date. end (datetime.datetime) – A timezone-aware datetime that represents the latest allowable end date for the baseline data, i.e., the latest date for which data is available before the intervention begins. max_days (int) – The maximum length of the period. Ignored if end is not set. The stricter of this or start is used to determine the earliest allowable baseline period date. baseline_data, warnings – Data for only the specified baseline period and any associated warnings.
eemeter.get_reporting_data(data, start=None, end=None, max_days=365)

Filter down to reporting period data.

Parameters: data (pandas.DataFrame or pandas.Series) – The data to filter to reporting data. This data will be filtered down to an acceptable reporting period according to the dates passed as start and end, or the maximum period specified with max_days. start (datetime.datetime) – A timezone-aware datetime that represents the earliest allowable start date for the reporting data, i.e., the earliest date for which data is available after the intervention begins. end (datetime.datetime) – A timezone-aware datetime that represents the latest allowable end date for the reporting data. The stricter of this or max_days is used to determine the latest allowable reporting period date. max_days (int) – The maximum length of the period. Ignored if start is not set. The stricter of this or end is used to determine the latest allowable reporting period date. reporting_data, warnings – Data for only the specified reporting period and any associated warnings.
