How to Create an Interrupted Time Series Mock in Python

Generate simulated interrupted time series data with a pre/post-intervention trend, level shift, and noise to test segmented regression models.

interrupted-time-series simulation numpy
Python
import numpy as np

# Mock interrupted time series data
np.random.seed(42)
n_pre = 50
n_post = 50
time = np.arange(0, n_pre + n_post)

# Pre-intervention: linear trend + noise
pre_trend = 0.05 * time[:n_pre] + np.random.normal(0, 0.5, n_pre)

# Post-intervention: new slope + level shift + noise
post_trend = 0.05 * tim…

Copy-ready Python snippets for learners and developers

PythonSkillset code samples are short, focused examples organised by topic and difficulty. Every snippet is server-rendered HTML — readable by search engines and easy to copy. Open any sample, read the notes, copy the code, then press Try in editor to run it in the browser with Pyodide.

How to use this library

  1. Pick a topic section — strings, lists, files, functions, and more
  2. Open a sample, read How it works, and copy the code block
  3. Run it in the IDE, tweak values, then take a related quiz or tutorial lesson

Samples vs tutorials and challenges

Samples are quick reference — one concept per page. For step-by-step teaching, use our Python tutorials. To test yourself, try quizzes or coding challenges. Clean up style with the Python formatter.
