Class TimeDelayNode

Copy delayed version of the input signal on the space dimensions.

For example, for time_frames=3 and gap=2:

[ X(1) Y(1)        [ X(1) Y(1)   0    0    0    0
  X(2) Y(2)          X(2) Y(2)   0    0    0    0
  X(3) Y(3)   -->    X(3) Y(3) X(1) Y(1)   0    0
  X(4) Y(4)          X(4) Y(4) X(2) Y(2)   0    0
  X(5) Y(5)          X(5) Y(5) X(3) Y(3) X(1) Y(1)
  X(6) Y(6)          ...  ...  ...  ...  ...  ... ]
  X(7) Y(7)
  X(8) Y(8)
  ...  ...  ]

This node provides similar functionality as the TimeFramesNode, only that it performs a time embedding into the past rather than into the future.

See TimeDelaySlidingWindowNode for a sliding window delay node for application in a non-batch manner.

Instance Methods

[hide private]

__init__(self, time_frames, gap=1, input_dim=None, dtype=None)
Input arguments: time_frames -- Number of delayed copies gap -- Time delay between the copies

_execute(self, x)

execute(self, x)
Process the data contained in x.

pseudo_inverse(self, y)
This function returns a pseudo-inverse of the execute frame. y == execute(x) only if y belongs to the domain of execute and has been computed with a sufficently large x. If gap > 1 some of the last rows will be filled with zeros.

Method Details

[hide private]

init(self, time_frames, gap=1, input_dim=None, dtype=None)
(Constructor)

Input arguments: time_frames -- Number of delayed copies gap -- Time delay between the copies

Overrides: object.__init__

_execute(self, x)

Overrides: Node._execute

execute(self, x)

Process the data contained in x.

If the object is still in the training phase, the function stop_training will be called. x is a matrix having different variables on different columns and observations on the rows.

By default, subclasses should overwrite _execute to implement their execution phase. The docstring of the _execute method overwrites this docstring.

Overrides: Node.execute

pseudo_inverse(self, y)

This function returns a pseudo-inverse of the execute frame. y == execute(x) only if y belongs to the domain of execute and has been computed with a sufficently large x. If gap > 1 some of the last rows will be filled with zeros.

Overrides: TimeFramesNode.pseudo_inverse: (inherited documentation)
