Something is wrong about java-timeseries HOT 2 OPEN

@y913403515 yeah me too :(

from java-timeseries.

Sorry for the late response @y913403515. I'm just getting back to this project after a long time away.

You need to have more observations than the length of your seasonal cycle. For example, it wouldn't make sense to fit a monthly seasonal model with only 4 observations, which is roughly equivalent to what you're trying to do here.

Ideally, the number of observations you have should be at least twice the length of your seasonal cycle. So, in case your cycle is 81 days long, you should have 162 observations, but even then your forecast is going to be very unreliable. Think of fitting a seasonal model with only two years worth of monthly data. It's not enough data to learn from.

I'm not going to close this issue because one, I would like to see if I can give a better explanation of why this doesn't work, and two, there needs to be an error message in this circumstance instead of pumping out NaN values.
