Hi @marah othman. Do you mean to smooth the input signal or the forecast? No, the library does not have a general smoothing algorithm to pre-process or post-process the data or forecasts. Some models have smoothing-like features, like the pre-defined basis for the
NBEATS
model or the interpolation of the
NHITS
.

yes exactly as preprocessing for data
do you recommend to make smoothing to my data and normlize before the training process with any model from the library? @Cristian (Nixtla)

For most applications it is not necessary, I suggest you to start without this process
