flowmachine.features.subscriber.daily_location¶

Source: flowmachine/features/subscriber/daily_location.py

Calculates an subscriber daily location using different methods. A daily location is a statistic representing where an subscriber is on a given day.

daily_location¶

daily_location(date, stop=None, *, spatial_unit: Union[flowmachine.core.spatial_unit.CellSpatialUnit, flowmachine.core.spatial_unit.GeomSpatialUnit, NoneType] = None, hours: Optional[Tuple[int, int]] = None, method='last', table='all', subscriber_identifier='msisdn', ignore_nulls=True, subscriber_subset=None)

Source: flowmachine/features/subscriber/daily_location.py

Return a query for locating all subscribers on a single day of data.

Parameters¶

date: str

iso format date for the day in question, e.g. 2016-01-01
stop: str

optionally specify a stop datetime in iso format date for the day in question, e.g. 2016-01-02 06:00:00
spatial_unit: typing.Union, default None

Spatial unit to which subscriber locations will be mapped. See the docstring of make_spatial_unit for more information.
hours: typing.Optional, default None

Subset the result within certain hours, e.g. (4,17) This will subset the query only with these hours, but across all specified days. Or set to 'all' to include all hours.
method: str, default 'last'

The method by which to calculate the location of the subscriber. This can be either 'most-common' or last. 'most-common' is simply the modal location of the subscribers, whereas 'lsat' is the location of the subscriber at the time of the final call in the data.
table: str, default 'all'

schema qualified name of the table which the analysis is based upon. If 'ALL' it will use all tables that contain location data, specified in flowmachine.yml.
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.

Note

A date without a hours and mins will be interpreted as midnight of that day, so to get data within a single day pass (e.g.) '2016-01-01', '2016-01-02'. * Use 24 hr format!

locate_subscribers¶

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

Source: flowmachine/features/subscriber/daily_location.py

Return a class representing the location of an individual. This can be called with a number of different methods. Find the last/most-frequent location for every subscriber within the given time frame. Specify a spatial unit.

Parameters¶

start, stop: str

iso format date range for the the time frame, e.g. 2016-01-01 or 2016-01-01 14:03:01
spatial_unit: typing.Union, default None

Spatial unit to which subscriber locations will be mapped. See the docstring of make_spatial_unit for more information.
hours: typing.Optional, default None

Subset the result within certain hours, e.g. (4,17) This will subset the query only with these hours, but across all specified days. Or set to 'all' to include all hours.
method: str, default 'last'

The method by which to calculate the location of the subscriber. This can be either 'most-common' or last. 'most-common' is simply the modal location of the subscribers, whereas 'lsat' is the location of the subscriber at the time of the final call in the data.
table: str, default 'all'

schema qualified name of the table which the analysis is based upon. If 'all' it will use all tables that contain location data, specified in flowmachine.yml.
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.
kwargs

Eventually passed to flowmachine.spatial_metrics.spatial_helpers.

Examples¶

last_locs = locate_subscribers('2016-01-01 13:30:30',
                            '2016-01-02 16:25:00'
                             spatial_unit = CellSpatialUnit
                             method='last')
last_locs.head()
            subscriber    |    cell
            subscriberA   |   233241
            subscriberB   |   234111
            subscriberC   |   234111
                    .
                    .
                    .
