Train recommender with the same data fitted to the prediction #20

Thank you for sharing your insights and codes. I am trying to apply this framework in financial time series and wonder if it is valid to use the same data used in training the forecast model to train the recommender.

Hello @nateehuang

it depends on what you want. If you use the same time series data set for the training of the recommender and for the forecast, the recommendation will have a small selection error, so that for the forecast the best method of machine learning is most likely used. In other words, if you want good forecast results, then it is valid :)
