timeintervalsnode properties (deprecated)
Note: This node was deprecated in version 18 of SPSS® Modeler and replaced by the new Time Series node.
The Time Intervals node specifies intervals and creates labels (if needed) for modeling time series data. If values are not evenly spaced, the node can pad or aggregate values as needed to generate a uniform interval between records.

Example

node = stream.create("timeintervals", "My node")
node.setPropertyValue("interval_type", "SecondsPerDay")
node.setPropertyValue("days_per_week", 4)
node.setPropertyValue("week_begins_on", "Tuesday")
node.setPropertyValue("hours_per_day", 10)
node.setPropertyValue("day_begins_hour", 7)
node.setPropertyValue("day_begins_minute", 5)
node.setPropertyValue("day_begins_second", 17)
node.setPropertyValue("mode", "Label")
node.setPropertyValue("year_start", 2005)
node.setPropertyValue("month_start", "January")
node.setPropertyValue("day_start", 4)
node.setKeyedPropertyValue("pad", "AGE", "MeanOfRecentPoints")
node.setPropertyValue("agg_mode", "Specify")
node.setPropertyValue("agg_set_default", "Last")

mode Label Create Specifies whether you want to label records consecutively or build the series based on a specified date, timestamp, or time field.
field field When building the series from the data, specifies the field that indicates the date or time for each record.
period_start integer Specifies the starting interval for periods or cyclic periods
cycle_start integer Starting cycle for cyclic periods.
year_start integer For interval types where applicable, year in which the first interval falls.
quarter_start integer For interval types where applicable, quarter in which the first interval falls.

For quarterly intervals, specifies the month when the fiscal year begins.
week_begins_on Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday For periodic intervals (days per week, hours per day, minutes per day, and seconds per day), specifies the day on which the week begins.
day_begins_hour integer For periodic intervals (hours per day, minutes per day, seconds per day), specifies the hour when the day begins. Can be used in combination with day_begins_minute and day_begins_second to specify an exact time such as 8:05:01. See usage example below.
day_begins_minute integer For periodic intervals (hours per day, minutes per day, seconds per day), specifies the minute when the day begins (for example, the 5 in 8:05).
day_begins_second integer For periodic intervals (hours per day, minutes per day, seconds per day), specifies the second when the day begins (for example, the 17 in 8:05:17).
days_per_week integer For periodic intervals (days per week, hours per day, minutes per day, and seconds per day), specifies the number of days per week.
hours_per_day integer For periodic intervals (hours per day, minutes per day, and seconds per day), specifies the number of hours in the day.
interval_increment 1 2 3 4 5 6 10 15 20 30 For minutes per day and seconds per day, specifies the number of minutes or seconds to increment for each record.
