Since:

1.10

getTimeSeriesTimeUnit

java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit getTimeSeriesTimeUnit()

The TimeUnit used to specify the temporal distance between to values (getStartTime()).

Since:

1.10

getDeltaTime

long getDeltaTime()

Returns the temporal distance between to time series values with respect to the configured TimeUnit getDeltaTime().

Since:

1.10

getDeltaTimeUnit

java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit getDeltaTimeUnit()

The TimeUnit used to specify the temporal distance between to values (getDeltaTime()).

append

ITimeSeriesPoint<T> append(T value)

Appends the given value to the time series.

Parameters:

value - the value to append

Since:

1.10

appendAll

java.util.List<ITimeSeriesPoint<T>> appendAll(T[] values)

Appends the given value to the time series.

Since:

1.10

getPoints

java.util.List<ITimeSeriesPoint<T>> getPoints()

Returns the ITimeSeriesPoints of this time series.

Returns:

Points

Since:

1.10

getValues

java.util.List<T> getValues()

Returns a list of all getPoints()getValues().

Since:

1.10

getCapacity

int getCapacity()

Returns the maximum number of elements held in this time series.

Returns:

the capacity; INFINITE_CAPACITY if the capacity is infinite

Since:

1.10

size

int size()

Returns the number of value contained in the time series.

Since:

1.10

getEndTime

long getEndTime()

Returns the time corresponding to the most recent value in the time series.

Since:

1.10

getFrequency

int getFrequency()

Returns the frequency of the time series (how many time series points add up to an time unit of interest) needed to improve forecast accuracy e.g. a time series point each 15 minutes, interested in forecasting days: frequency is 96

Returns:

frequency as the number of time series points that add up either to the next bigger time unit and/or to the estimated length of seasonal patterns in focus. The value should not be too small (still able to approximate the shape of the seasonal pattern) and not to high (to limit the computational effort of complex forecast strategies)
