floatcsep.utils.timewindows_ti(start_date=None, end_date=None, intervals=None, horizon=None, growth='incremental', **_)

Creates the testing intervals for a time-independent experiment.

Note

The following argument combinations are possible:

• (start_date, end_date)

• (start_date, end_date, timeintervals)

• (start_date, end_date, timehorizon)

• (start_date, timeintervals, timehorizon)

Parameters:

• start_date (datetime.datetime) – Start of the experiment

• end_date (datetime.datetime) – End of the experiment

• intervals (int) – number of intervals to discretize the time span

• horizon (str) – time length of each interval

• growth (str) – incremental or cumulative time windows

Returns:

List of tuples containing the lower and upper boundaries of each testing window, as datetime.datetime.
