Good morning,
hope you are well.

i'm interested in your fully implemented DFM model with mixed frequency observations.
I would like to submit you to your attention:

1. in colab example, i get and error in defn_m = pd.read_csv('data/fredmd_definitions.csv'). FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'data/fredmd_definitions.csv'

2. It's not clear for me how does it works and the syntax, could you explain me better?

Thank you very much for your attention and passion, i wish you the best.

Paolo

I think you can download the files as follow:
https://research.stlouisfed.org/econ/mccracken/fred-databases/
there are two files named [FRED-MD Appendix.zip] and [FRED-QD Appendix.zip]
And remember to change the column name in QD file to fit the code
:D
