# timeSeriesPredictLinearToGrid

<h2 id="timeSeriesPredictLinearToGrid">
  timeSeriesPredictLinearToGrid
</h2>

Introduced in: v25.6.0

Aggregate function that takes time series data as pairs of timestamps and values and calculates a [PromQL-like linear prediction](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/querying/functions/#predict_linear) with a specified prediction timestamp offset from this data on a regular time grid described by start timestamp, end timestamp and step. For each point on the grid the samples for calculating `predict_linear` are considered within the specified time window.

<Note>
  This function is experimental, enable it by setting `allow_experimental_ts_to_grid_aggregate_function=true`.
</Note>

**Syntax**

```sql theme={null}
timeSeriesPredictLinearToGrid(start_timestamp, end_timestamp, grid_step, staleness, predict_offset)(timestamp, value)
```

**Parameters**

* `start_timestamp` — Specifies start of the grid. - `end_timestamp` — Specifies end of the grid. - `grid_step` — Specifies step of the grid in seconds. - `staleness` — Specifies the maximum "staleness" in seconds of the considered samples. The staleness window is a left-open and right-closed interval. - `predict_offset` — Specifies number of seconds of offset to add to prediction time.

**Arguments**

* `timestamp` — Timestamp of the sample. Can be individual values or arrays. - `value` — Value of the time series corresponding to the timestamp. Can be individual values or arrays.

**Returned value**

`predict_linear` values on the specified grid as an `Array(Nullable(Float64))`. The returned array contains one value for each time grid point. The value is NULL if there are not enough samples within the window to calculate the rate value for a particular grid point.

**Examples**

**Calculate predict\_linear values on the grid \[90, 105, 120, 135, 150, 165, 180, 195, 210] with a 60 second offset**

```sql title=Query theme={null}

    -- NOTE: the gap between 140 and 190 is to show how values are filled for ts = 150, 165, 180 according to window parameter

    90 + 120 AS end_ts,   -- end of timestamp grid
    15 AS step_seconds,   -- step of timestamp grid
    45 AS window_seconds, -- "staleness" window
    60 AS predict_offset  -- prediction time offset

FROM

    -- This subquery converts arrays of timestamps and values into rows of `timestamp`, `value`
    SELECT
        arrayJoin(arrayZip(timestamps, values)) AS ts_and_val,
        ts_and_val.1 AS timestamp,
        ts_and_val.2 AS value
);
