Abstract
Methods and systems that improve upon the speed of engineering features related to date differences. Such methods and systems comprise one or more data structures that can use epoch dates to establish an index in the data structure, and integer differences as values in the data structure. The data structures can then be used as a lookup for a date of interest, to efficiently determine the number days since a previous target date and the number of days until a next target date.
