This is a really interesting development in time-series data analysis! Excited to see where this goes.

I agree, this feature extraction technique has the potential to greatly improve the accuracy of time-series predictions. Can't wait to test it out on some of our datasets.

Have you compared the performance of this technique to other existing feature extraction methods for time-series data? I'm interested in hearing about the differences.

We've performed comparisons to quite a few other methods, such as Fourier Transform, Wavelet Transform, and various state space models. This technique consistently outperformed them in terms of accuracy. You can find our results in the paper linked in the post.

I'm curious about the computational complexity of this technique. Do you have any estimates on the resources required for processing large datasets?

The computational complexity of this method is relatively high compared to traditional methods, but the improvements in prediction accuracy make up for it. We've performed testing on datasets with sizes up to 100GB.

What software or libraries do I need to implement this feature extraction technique? Is it readily available, or am I going to have to roll my own implementation?

You can use the 'tsfeaturex' package in Python, available on Github. It includes the new feature extraction technique and a number of others for time-series analysis. Easy to install and use!

What kind of real-world applications can benefit from this new feature extraction technique? Can you give some examples?

There are a lot of potential use cases, but here are a few examples: finance (stock price prediction), meteorology (weather forecasting), IoT (predictive maintenance for industrial machines), and transportation (optimizing public transportation routes).
