A COMPARATIVE STUDY ON HOW DATA NORMALIZATION AFFECTS ZERO-SHOT GENERALIZATION IN TIME SERIES FOUNDATION MODELS

We investigate input normalization methods for Time-Series Foundation Models (TSFMs). While normalization is well-studied in dataset-specific time-series models, it remains overlooked in TSFMs where generalization is critical. Time-series data, unlike text or images, exhibits significant scale varia…
