flowmachine.features.subscriber.first_location

Source: flowmachine/features/subscriber/first_location.py

Identifies the first location in which a subscriber is seen within a specified time period.

Class FirstLocation

FirstLocation(start, stop, *, location, spatial_unit: Union[flowmachine.core.spatial_unit.CellSpatialUnit, flowmachine.core.spatial_unit.GeomSpatialUnit] = CellSpatialUnit(), hours: Union[Tuple[int, int], NoneType] = None, table='all', subscriber_identifier='msisdn', ignore_nulls=True, subscriber_subset=None)

Source: flowmachine/features/subscriber/first_location.py

Class that defines the time at which the subscriber was first spotted at the location in question. Note this does not imply that the subscriber was never here before, but this is the first time within the specified time range.

Parameters

• start: str

  String representing the beginning of the focal time period

• stop: str

  String representing the end of the focal period

• location: or list/tuple thereof, tuple, dict, str

  str representing the location of interest. Could be a cell or an admin region for instance. You must specify spatial_unit to match this. i.e. location='ER0980', spatial_unit=make_spatial_unit('cell'). Can also pass a list of strings e.g. ['ER0980', 'CW2020'] will return the time at which the subscriber was first at any of these locations. Pass the argument 'any', to find the first time a subscriber pops up at any location. For spatial units with multiple location_id_columns, see SpatialUnitMixin.location_subset_clause or LonLatSpatialUnit.location_subset_clause for a description of the allowed formats for the location argument.

• spatial_unit: typing.Union[flowmachine.core.spatial_unit.CellSpatialUnit, flowmachine.core.spatial_unit.GeomSpatialUnit], default CellSpatialUnit()

  Spatial unit to which subscriber locations will be mapped. See the docstring of make_spatial_unit for more information.

• subscriber_identifier: {'msisdn', 'imei'}, default 'msisdn'

  Either msisdn, or imei, the column that identifies the subscriber.

• subscriber_subset: flowmachine.core.Table, flowmachine.core.Query, list, str, default None

  If provided, string or list of string which are msisdn or imeis to limit results to; or, a query or table which has a column with a name matching subscriber_identifier (typically, msisdn), to limit results to.
