infer_sampling_time

.infer_sampling_time(
   data: pd.DataFrame
)

---

Infers sampling time from datetime index. If the index is not a datetime index, it will raise an error. Returns the sampling time as a pd.Timedelta object.

The algorithm works by taking the first 10 samples and inferring the frequency from them. If the frequency is not inferred, it will take the next 10 samples and try again. This is repeated until the frequency is inferred or all samples are exhausted.

Args

• data (pd.DataFrame) : Data frame with datetime index to infer the sampling time

Returns

• t_s (pd.Timedelta) : The inferred sampling time
