Description
Most data is allocated to a period or to some point in time. We can gain a lot of insight by analysing what happened when. The better the quality and accuracy of our data, the better our predictions can become. Unfortunately the data we have to deal with is often aggregated for example on a monthly basis, but not all months are the same, they may have 28 days, 31 days, have four or five weekends,… It’s made fit to our calendar that was made fit to deal with the earth surrounding the sun, not to please Data Scientists.
