Description: Temporal Segmentation Models are analytical approaches that allow dividing data into segments based on temporal characteristics. These models are fundamental in time series analysis, where the variability of data over time can influence the interpretation and prediction of trends. By segmenting the data, patterns, anomalies, and seasonal behaviors can be identified that might otherwise go unnoticed. Models can be unidimensional, focusing on a single temporal variable, or multimodal, where multiple data sources or variables interacting over time are considered. This segmentation is crucial in various fields, such as economics, meteorology, and public health, where data-driven decisions can have a significant impact. The ability to segment data temporally enables analysts and data scientists to make more accurate inferences and develop more robust predictive models, thereby improving informed decision-making.
