temporian.EventSet.propagate

propagate(
    sampling: EventSetOrNode, resample: bool = False
) -> EventSetOrNode

Propagates feature values over another EventSet's index.

Given the input and sampling where the input's indexes are a subset of sampling's (e.g., the indexes of the input are ["x"], and the indexes of sampling are ["x","y"]), duplicates the features of the input over the indexes of sampling.

Index values in self but not in sampling are removed. An index value without timestamps is created for each index values in sampling but not in self.

Example use case

>>> products = tp.event_set(
...     timestamps=[1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3],
...     features={
...         "product": [1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2],
...         "sales": [100., 200., 500., 1000., 2000., 5000.]
...     },
...     indexes=["product"],
... )
>>> store = tp.event_set(
...     timestamps=[1, 2, 3, 4, 5],
...     features={
...         "sales": [10000., 20000., 30000., 5000., 1000.]
...     },
... )

>>> # First attempt: divide to calculate fraction of total store sales
>>> products / store
Traceback (most recent call last):
    ...
ValueError: Arguments don't have the same index. ...

>>> # Second attempt: propagate index
>>> store_prop = store.propagate(products)
>>> products / store_prop
Traceback (most recent call last):
    ...
ValueError: Arguments should have the same sampling. ...

>>> # Third attempt: propagate + resample
>>> store_resample = store.propagate(products, resample=True)
>>> div = products / store_resample
>>> div
indexes: [('product', int64)]
features: [('sales', float64)]
events:
    product=1 (3 events):
        timestamps: [1. 2. 3.]
        'sales': [0.01   0.01   0.0167]
    product=2 (3 events):
        timestamps: [1. 2. 3.]
        'sales': [0.1    0.1    0.1667]
...

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
sampling	EventSetOrNode	EventSet with the indexes to propagate to.	required
resample	bool	If true, apply a EventSet.resample() before propagating, for the output to have the same sampling as sampling.	False

Returns:

Type	Description
EventSetOrNode	EventSet propagated over sampling's index.
