- pat2vec.util.generate_date_list.generate_date_list(start_date, years, months, days, time_window_interval_delta=relativedelta(days=+1), config_obj=None)[source]
Generates a list of dates within a range, constrained by global boundaries.
This function calculates a date range based on a start date and a duration (defined by years, months, days). It then generates a list of dates within this range at a specified interval (time_window_interval_delta). The final list is clamped to global start and end dates defined in the config_obj.
- Parameters:
start_date (
datetime) – The anchor date for the calculation.years (
int) – The number of years to add or subtract.months (
int) – The number of months to add or subtract.days (
int) – The number of days to add or subtract.time_window_interval_delta (
relativedelta) – The step interval between dates.config_obj (
Optional[Any]) – A configuration object with ‘lookback’ and global date attributes (e.g., global_start_year).
- Return type:
List[Tuple[int,int,int]]- Returns:
A chronologically sorted list of (year, month, day) tuples.
