I see your point. However, my only concern is: this way, don’t we have a much smaller number of samples? Though, effectively the data we use to train the model remains the same!

Another approach that might make more sense would be to average the data per hour over all the homes.


I don’t quiet understand this. Is this a baseline you’re suggesting?
Also, did you find anything in the code that is indicative of the failure when I incorporate the sine and cosine?
