Welcome to skchange#
A python library for fast change point and segment anomaly detection. The library is designed to be compatible with sktime. Numba is used for computational speed.
!New!#
Notebook tutorial from PyData Global 2024 available in the User guide.
Installation#
The library can be installed via pip:
pip install skchange
Requires python versions >= 3.9, < 3.14.
For better computational performance, it is recommended to install skchange with numba:
pip install skchange[numba]
Key features#
Fast: Numba is used for performance.
Easy to use: Follows the conventions of sktime and scikit-learn.
Easy to extend: Make your own detectors by inheriting from the base class templates. Create custom detection scores and cost functions.
Segment anomaly detection: Detect intervals of anomalous behaviour in time series data.
Subset anomaly detection: Detect intervals of anomalous behaviour in time series data, and infer the subset of variables that are responsible for the anomaly.
Mission#
The goal of skchange
is to provide a library for fast and easy-to-use changepoint-based algorithms for change and anomaly detection.
The primary focus is on modern methods in the statistical literature.
Example#
import numpy as np
from skchange.anomaly_detectors import MVCAPA
from skchange.datasets.generate import generate_anomalous_data
n = 300
anomalies = [(100, 120), (250, 300)]
means = [[8.0, 0.0, 0.0], [2.0, 3.0, 5.0]]
df = generate_anomalous_data(n, anomalies, means, random_state=3)
detector = MVCAPA()
detector.fit_predict(df)
ilocs labels icolumns
0 [100, 120) 1 [0]
1 [250, 300) 2 [2, 1, 0]
