hi, I am trying to build model using NBEATSx. however, I only have one unique id. I got an error as follow :

AssertionError: Something weird is happening, call Cristian

here is my data

Lol let's call @Cristian (Nixtla).

Hi rariwa! That assert has a mistake, we already fixed in the git repository and pip. You can also fix it by removing the assert.

now it shows new error

does the data have missing values/NaNs before the normalization?

still get the error

Hi, following this : https://nixtla.github.io/neuralforecast/models_nhits__nhits.html I get the same error

KeyError: 'normalizer_y'

Hi @Pablo Andreone. The "normalizer_y" and "normalizer_x" hyperparameters are deprecated, it is called "scaler" now
