statsmodels.tsa.statespace.tools.diff(series, k_diff=1, k_seasonal_diff=None, seasonal_periods=1)

Difference a series simply and/or seasonally along the zero-th axis.

Given a series (denoted $y_t$), performs the differencing operation

$$\Delta^d \Delta_s^D y_t$$

where $d =$ diff, $s =$ seasonal_periods, $D =$ seasonal_diff, and $\Delta$ is the difference operator.

seasonal_diffint or None, optional

The number of seasonal differences to perform. Default is no seasonal differencing.
