class darts.ad.scorers.pyod_scorer.PyODScorer(model, window=1, component_wise=False, window_agg=True, diff_fn=<function ae>)[source]¶

Bases: WindowedAnomalyScorer

PyOD Scorer

When calling fit(series), a moving window is applied, which results in a set of vectors of size W, where W is the window size. The PyODScorer model is trained on these vectors. The score(series) function will apply the same moving window and return the predicted raw anomaly score of each vector.

Alternatively, the scorer has the functions fit_from_prediction() and score_from_prediction(). Both require two series (actual and prediction), and compute a “difference” series by applying the function diff_fn (default: absolute difference). The resulting series is then passed to the functions fit() and score(), respectively.

component_wise is a boolean parameter indicating how the model should behave with multivariate inputs series. If set to True, the model will treat each series dimension independently by fitting a different PyODScorer model for each dimension. If set to False, the model concatenates the dimensions in each windows of length W and compute the score using only one underlying PyODScorer model.

Training with fit():

The input can be a series (univariate or multivariate) or multiple series. The series will be partitioned into equal size subsequences. The subsequence will be of size W * D, with:

W being the size of the window given as a parameter window
D being the dimension of the series (D = 1 if univariate or if component_wise is set to True)

For a series of length N, (N - W + 1)/W subsequences will be generated. If a list of series is given of length L, each series will be partitioned into subsequences, and the results will be concatenated into an array of length L * number of subsequences of each series.

The PyOD model will be fitted on the generated subsequences.

If component_wise is set to True, the algorithm will be applied to each dimension independently. For each dimension, a PyOD model will be trained.

Computing score with score():

The input can be a series (univariate or multivariate) or a sequence of series. The given series must have the same dimension D as the data used to train the PyOD model.

For each series, if the series is multivariate of dimension D:

if component_wise is set to False: it returns a univariate series (dimension=1). It represents the anomaly score of the entire series in the considered window at each timestamp.
if component_wise is set to True: it returns a multivariate series of dimension D. Each dimension represents the anomaly score of the corresponding component of the input.

If the series is univariate, it returns a univariate series regardless of the parameter component_wise.

A window of size W is rolled on the series with a stride equal to 1. It is the same size window W used during the training phase. Each value in the score series thus represents how anomalous the sample of the W previous values is.

Parameters

model (BaseDetector) – The (fitted) PyOD BaseDetector model.
window (int) – Size of the window used to create the subsequences of the series.
component_wise (bool) – Boolean value indicating if the score needs to be computed for each component independently (True) or by concatenating the component in the considered window to compute one score (False). Default: False.
window_agg (bool) – Boolean indicating whether the anomaly score for each time step is computed by averaging the anomaly scores for all windows this point is included in. If False, the anomaly score for each point is the anomaly score of its trailing window. Default: True.
diff_fn (Callable[…, Union[float, List[float], ndarray, List[ndarray]]]) – The differencing function to use to transform the predicted and actual series into one series. The scorer is then applied to this series. Must be one of Darts per-time-step metrics (e.g., ae() for the absolute difference, err() for the difference, se() for the squared difference, …). By default, uses the absolute difference (ae()).

- a single multivariate series.
- a sequence of univariate series.
Sequence[Sequence[float]] – A sequence of sequences of metric values for a sequence of multivariate series. The outer sequence is over the series, and inner sequence is over the series’ components/columns.

fit(series)¶

Fits the scorer on the given time series.

If a sequence of series, the scorer is fitted on the concatenation of the sequence.

The assumption is that series is generally anomaly-free.

Parameters: series (Union[TimeSeries, Sequence[TimeSeries]]) – The (sequence of) series with no anomalies.
Returns: Fitted Scorer.
Return type: self

fit_from_prediction(series, pred_series)¶

Fits the scorer on the two (sequences of) series.

The function diff_fn passed as a parameter to the scorer, will transform pred_series and series into one series. By default, diff_fn will compute the absolute difference (Default: ae()). If pred_series and series are sequences, diff_fn will be applied to all pairwise elements of the sequences.

The scorer will then be fitted on this (sequence of) series. If a sequence of series is given, the scorer will be fitted on the concatenation of the sequence.

The scorer assumes that the (sequence of) series is anomaly-free.

If any of the series is stochastic (with n_samples>1), diff_fn is computed on quantile 0.5.

Parameters

series (Union[TimeSeries, Sequence[TimeSeries]]) – The (sequence of) actual series.
pred_series (Union[TimeSeries, Sequence[TimeSeries]]) – The (sequence of) predicted series.
