tempdisagg: A Python Framework for Temporal Disaggregation of Time Series Data
Abstract
tempdisagg is a modern, extensible, and production-ready Python framework for temporal disaggregation of time series data. It transforms low-frequency aggregates into consistent, high-frequency estimates using a wide array of econometric techniques-including Chow-Lin, Denton, Litterman, Fernandez, and uniform interpolation-as well as enhanced variants with automated estimation of key parameters such as the autocorrelation coefficient rho. The package introduces features beyond classical methods, including robust ensemble modeling via non-negative least squares optimization, post-estimation correction of negative values under multiple aggregation rules, and optional regression-based imputation of missing values through a dedicated Retropolarizer module. Architecturally, it follows a modular design inspired by scikit-learn, offering a clean API for validation, modeling, visualization, and result interpretation.
