What’s different about time series forecasting compared to standard ML?
Answer
Time series has temporal dependency.
Differences:
- Use time-based splits
- Handle seasonality and trends
- Create lag/rolling features
- Evaluate with horizon-aware metrics
Forecasting failures often come from leakage and ignoring non-stationarity. Always baseline with naive forecasts.
