I finally read this book about how W.E.B. #Dubois and colleagues challenged 19th and 20th century ideas and intuitions by visualizing data: https://amzn.to/49916Dz

Cheers to those who advance debate with clear, cogent, empirical arguments.

We have implemented #TimeSeries #SeasonalDecomposition using STL and MSTL. boost_love

@labplot@lemmy.kde.social
@opensource

➡️ #STL breaks down data into trend, single #seasonality, and noise.

➡️ #MSTL extends this to extract multiple seasonal patterns iteratively. These methods improve analysis and #forecasting for complex seasonal data.
