- pat2vec.util.calculate_interval.calculate_interval(start_date, total_delta, interval_delta)[source]
Calculates how many ‘interval_delta’ chunks fit inside ‘total_delta’.
This function iteratively adds the interval_delta to the start_date until it exceeds the total duration specified by total_delta. It counts how many full intervals fit within this period.
- Parameters:
start_date (
datetime) – The starting date of the total period.total_delta (
relativedelta) – The total duration from the start date.interval_delta (
relativedelta) – The duration of a single interval chunk.
- Return type:
int- Returns:
The number of complete intervals that fit within the total duration.
- Raises:
ValueError – If interval_delta is not a positive duration.
