I am going to defined the readme a little

- they often don’t support missing/corrupt data

Clean data would benefit most models, not just non-deep learning models. Missing data introduces bias even in DL models.

- they focus on linear relationships and not complex joint distributions

1. If seasonality is present. Which is usually the case in practical business problems then you will find that actual ~ lag_actuals explains most of the variance with a linear relationship. non-linearities in time series is not something that I see often. You can usually make a feature that explains those away linearly.

- they focus on fixed temporal dependence that must be diagnosed and specified a priori

Not sure sure you are saying here.

- they take as input univariate, not multiple interval, data

That is not the case. Time series regression can take many lags for inputs.

- they focus on one-step forecasts, not long time horizons

False. Time series regression models are used to forecast revenue many years into the future in the business world.

- they’re highly parameterized and rigid to assumptions

So is F=ma

- they fail for cold start problems

Because a cold start is not a time series data set. Why would time series methods work on non time series data.
