Filling Missing Values in Time Series Data While Limiting Consecutive NA Values
Understanding the Problem and Requirements In this blog post, we will delve into a common problem faced by time series data analysts: filling missing values (NA) in a time series while limiting the number of consecutive NA values filled to a specified threshold. The goal is to find a vectorized approach that achieves this with a reasonable amount of code. Introduction to Time Series Data Time series data is characterized by its temporal nature, where each observation is related to the others in terms of both space (geographical proximity) and time (sequential ordering).
