Hello im new here. I was doing tensorflows timeseries tutorial, which can be found here:Time series forecasting | TensorFlow Core. I was wondering why in the plot method we use example dataset for prediction when it is made by train data?
does this code use train data if example data is not set?
@property
def train(self):
return self.make_dataset(self.train_df)
@property
def val(self):
return self.make_dataset(self.val_df)
@property
def test(self):
return self.make_dataset(self.test_df)
@property
def example(self):
“”“Get and cache an example batch of inputs, labels for plotting.”“”
result = getattr(self, ‘_example’, None)
if result is None:
# No example batch was found, so get one from the .train dataset
result = next(iter(self.train))
# And cache it for next time
self._example = result
return result
WindowGenerator.train = train
WindowGenerator.val = val
WindowGenerator.test = test
WindowGenerator.example = example
in the plot method the inputs are taken from example dataset:def plot(self, model=None, plot_col=‘T (degC)’, max_subplots=3):
inputs, labels = self.example
plt.figure(figsize=(12, 8))
plot_col_index = self.column_indices[plot_col]
max_n = min(max_subplots, len(inputs))
for n in range(max_n):
plt.subplot(max_n, 1, n+1)
plt.ylabel(f’{plot_col} [normed]‘)
plt.plot(self.input_indices, inputs[n, :, plot_col_index],
label=‘Inputs’, marker=’.', zorder=-10)
if self.label_columns:
label_col_index = self.label_columns_indices.get(plot_col, None)
else:
label_col_index = plot_col_index
if label_col_index is None:
continue
plt.scatter(self.label_indices, labels[n, :, label_col_index],
edgecolors='k', label='Labels', c='#2ca02c', s=64)
if model is not None:
predictions = model(inputs)
plt.scatter(self.label_indices, predictions[n, :, label_col_index],
marker='X', edgecolors='k', label='Predictions',
c='#ff7f0e', s=64)
if n == 0:
plt.legend()
plt.xlabel(‘Time [h]’)
WindowGenerator.plot = plot
