If pulmonary fibrosis is related to the weather / season, then we miss an important information in our data.</p>\n<p>I made a test related to this issue : <br>\nI made some data augmentation using Facebook Prophet library (that did not improve my score, unfortunately), in which I had to transform weeks into actual dates. But, the dates may be related to seasons, as well as holidays in the library, the problem might be related to that too. I chose Mondays as dates for weeks, but even so, I wonder what happens if the starting date is set in a different season. Not to mention that seasons are different in different parts of the globe, so I should have to adjust the dates according to the location of the patient.</p>\n<p>Have anyone any ideas, comments or remarks related to this subject ?</p>",
