How can i predict multivariate with multivariate #99

Open TomKoester opened 2 months ago

Hey,

How can i predict multivariate with multivariate? Where do i have to add the Targetfeatures in which format? The reason im asking is the flag --target. In the description it says: "target feature in S or MS task". Now we have M task. How does the program know what my target features in my data are?

Hi, please take a look at the relevant issue

okay, i understand that i have to use flagbits to mark my target variables, right? Can you give me an short example how to use it? @WenWeiTHU

my data has the following format: Timestamp Feature 1 ... Feature X Target 1 .. Target X

its pretty similar to your weather dataset but instead of one target feature ( OT ) i need multiple Can you give me a short example how the iTransformer knows what columns the Targetfeatures are?
