flowmachine.features.subscriber.last_location

Source: flowmachine/features/subscriber/last_location.py

Computes the last location an subscriber was identified at during a specified time period.

Class LastLocation

LastLocation(start, stop, spatial_unit: Union[flowmachine.core.spatial_unit.CellSpatialUnit, flowmachine.core.spatial_unit.GeomSpatialUnit, NoneType] = None, hours: Union[Tuple[int, int], NoneType] = None, table='all', subscriber_identifier='msisdn', *, ignore_nulls=True, subscriber_subset=None)
Source: flowmachine/features/subscriber/last_location.py

Class representing a subscribers last location within a certain time frame

Attributes

Parameters

  • start: str

    iso format date range for the beginning of the time frame, e.g. 2016-01-01 or 2016-01-01 14:03:01

  • stop: str

    As above

  • spatial_unit: typing.Union[flowmachine.core.spatial_unit.CellSpatialUnit, flowmachine.core.spatial_unit.GeomSpatialUnit, NoneType], default None

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

  • hours: typing.Union[typing.Tuple[int, int], NoneType], 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!
