Sæsoninput
Sæsoninput is a term used in Danish-language data science and statistics to describe inputs that encode seasonal variation in a model or data pipeline. The concept treats seasonality as an explicit input that can influence predictions, decisions, or simulations.
Etymology: The term combines sæson, meaning season, with input, used in technical fields.
Technical usage: In time series modeling, sæsoninput can be realized as dummy variables for months or quarters,
Applications: Sæsoninput is used in fields such as agriculture planning, energy demand forecasting, retail sales analysis,
Considerations: Ensure data alignment with the modeling frequency, avoid data leakage, and test for changing seasonality,
Related concepts include seasonality, seasonal adjustment, and time series modeling.
