Are there POIs that will show up in the Monthly patterns but not in the Weekly patterns files that correspond to the same month (assuming this month is made up of 4 weeks that exactly match the weeks covered by the Weekly patterns files)?

Hi there, Quick question about the difference between Monthly vs. Weekly patterns. Are there POIs that will show up in the Monthly patterns but not in the Weekly patterns files that correspond to the same month (assuming this month is made up of 4 weeks that exactly match the weeks covered by the Weekly patterns files)? In other words, if I work from the Weekly pattern files and aggregate up to the monthly frequency, do I get the same info as that containted in the Monthly patterns, or is there more info in the Monthly patterns?

Hi @Etienne_Lale_University_of_Quebec_at_Montreal, yes your logic is sound there. If we assume you are checking data from July 1st - 31st in both Monthly and Weekly, that should give you the same POIs and data - but it would require exploding the weekly files to get specified days (inner weekly days to ensure you are strictly checking the months data)

Does this make sense?
