Given a table of targets and a table of time-stamped series belonging to them, it builds each candidate representation, from the record unreduced through a calendar grain such as a week or a month to a lookback anchored on each target, fits the requested learners on each, scores every candidate on one set of held-out folds, and stacks the out-of-fold predictions into an ensemble. Calendar-aware binning keeps a bin a real week or month rather than a fixed block of hours. Learners, response heads and metrics are registered rather than hard-coded, so adding one is a registration and not a fork of the fitting code. The penalised baseline is an elastic net fitted by cyclic coordinate descent along a warm-started path, following Friedman, Hastie and Tibshirani (2010) . The shipped default is presence-absence with a joint multi-label head scored by the true skill statistic of Allouche, Tsoar and Kadmon (2006) , the setting used for species distribution modelling from microclimate loggers. authors: - family-names: Colling given-names: Gilles email: gilles.colling051@gmail.com orcid: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3070-6066 preferred-citation: type: manual title: 'timesift: Learn Predictive Representations of Time-Varying Data' authors: - family-names: Colling given-names: Gilles orcid: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3070-6066 email: gilles.colling051@gmail.com year: '2026' notes: R package version 0.3.1 url: https://gillescolling.com/timesift/ repository: https://cran.r-universe.dev repository-code: https://github.com/gcol33/timesift commit: 0918701a1ffe26cc8cc43fb4560971eaffe83e62 url: https://gillescolling.com/timesift/ date-released: '2026-10-02' contact: - family-names: Colling given-names: Gilles email: gilles.colling051@gmail.com orcid: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3070-6066
