Feature Request: Add Support for Handling Missing Values

Open jotelu opened this issue 9 months ago • 1 comments

TimeMixer shows impressive performance on various forecasting tasks. However, it would be helpful to have built-in support for handling missing values in the input time series. This would make the model more robust for real-world applications where data is often incomplete.

Suggested Implementation

  • Add an option to specify a masking mechanism for missing values
  • Consider implementing an imputation module before the PDM block
  • Include a parameter to control how missing values affect the decomposition process

Priority

Medium

Additional Context

Many real-world time series datasets contain missing observations, and the current implementation seems to assume complete data availability.
