PyDataMCR & Rust Manchester - June Talks

PyDataMCR and Rust Manchester are teaming up for our June speakers night

THE TALK

Polars and Time Series: what it can do, and how to overcome any limitation - Marco Gorelli (he/him)

Time series analysis is ubiquitous in applied data science because of the value it delivers. In order to do effective time series analysis, you need to know your tools well. Polars has excellent built-in time series support, and it's also possible to extend it where necessary.

We will talk about:
- Basic built-in time series operations with Polars (e.g. "what's the average number of sales per month?").
- numba/numpy/scipy interoperability for not-so-basic time series operations (e.g. non-linear interpolation, or cumulative operations).
- Advanced, custom time series operations, and how you can implement them as Polars plugins (e.g. business day arithmetic).

Q&A developing open source software in the Python ecosystem

Location
We'll be at Krakenflex Manchester, who are kindly supplying catering. The capacity is limited to 100.
