Time Features - Ordinality #34

Open ghost opened 2 years ago

ghost commented 2 years ago

Doesn't the way time features were encoded introduce ordinality?

For example, if Sunday is encoded as 1 and Thursday is encoded as 5 - doesn't that let the model think Thursday is more important than Sunday.

Is this understanding correct? If yes, could you help to understand why that decision was taken during model design?
