join

Placeholder.join(right, on=None, time_stamps=None, relationship='many-to-many', memory=None, horizon=None, lagged_targets=False, upper_time_stamp=None)

Joins another to placeholder to this placeholder.

Args:

right (Placeholder):

The placeholder you would like to join.

on (None, string, Tuple[str] or List[Union[str, Tuple[str]]]):

The join keys to use. If none is passed, then everything will be joined to everything else.

time_stamps (string or Tuple[str]):

The time stamps used to limit the join.

relationship (str):

The relationship between the two tables. Must be from relationship.

memory (float):

The difference between the time stamps until data is ‘forgotten’. Limiting your joins using memory can significantly speed up training time. Also refer to time.

horizon (float):

The prediction horizon to apply to this join. Also refer to time.

lagged_targets (bool):

Whether you want to allow lagged targets. If this is set to True, you must also pass a positive, non-zero horizon.

upper_time_stamp (str):

Name of a time stamp in right that serves as an upper limit on the join.
