geodesic.tesseract.create_strided_binning¶
- geodesic.tesseract.create_strided_binning(start, end, stride, duration)[source]¶
Creates a StridedBinning object for use in a Tesseract job given start, end, stride, and duration
This creates a StridedBinning object that can be used in any step of a Tesseract job that uses temporal binning. Strided binning is the most commonly used way to create uniformly spaced and sized time bins. This utility helps create bins between a start and end with a given stride and duration.
Bins will begin at start, the starts will be spaced in intervals of stride, be duration wide and end before or equal to end.
- Parameters
start (Union[datetime.datetime, numpy.datetime64, str]) – the start datetime for the binning
end (Union[datetime.datetime, numpy.datetime64, str]) – the end datetime for the binning
stride (Union[datetime.timedelta, numpy.timedelta64, str]) – the time apart each of the left bin edges will be spaced
duration (Union[datetime.timedelta, numpy.timedelta64, str]) – how long each bin will be
- Returns
a StridedBinning object.
