Reply to comment by seiqooq in [R] Embedding dates ? by MichelMED10

I have couples of dates and procedures/tests ans their results. So having the date is important (per example a patient had cancer 5 years ago and was treated using conization)

Gotcha. In that case I’d use sinusoid embedding like others have suggested. Another alternative is normalizing all of the dates onto some small range, eg [0,1]
