pastas.stats.signatures.autocorr_time#
- autocorr_time(series, cutoff=0.8, **kwargs)[source]#
Lag where the autocorrelation function exceeds a cut-off value.
- Parameters
series (pandas.Series) – Pandas Series with DatetimeIndex and head values.
cutoff (float, optional) – Cut-off value for the autocorrelation function. Default is 0.7.
kwargs (dict, optional) – Additional keyword arguments are passed to the pastas acf method.
- Returns
Lag in days where the autocorrelation function exceeds the cutoff value.
- Return type
Notes
Lag in days where the autocorrelation function exceeds the cutoff value for the first time. The higher the lag, the more autocorrelated the time series is, and vice versa. In practical terms higher values mean that the groundwater system has a longer memory and the response to changes in the forcing are visible longer in the head time series.
