  Key Concepts: 
  Time-stamped population is a feature of SAP Predictive Analytics that allows users to create a population of data points that are associated with a specific time period. This feature allows users to analyze data from different points in time and compare the results. This can be used to identify trends and patterns in the data over time. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the time-stamped population feature, users must first create a population of data points. This can be done by selecting the desired data points from the available datasets. Once the population is created, users can then assign a specific time period to each data point. This will allow users to analyze the data from different points in time and compare the results. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a time-stamped population, it is important to ensure that all of the data points are associated with the same time period. This will ensure that the results are accurate and meaningful. Additionally, it is important to consider how long the time period should be when creating a population. A longer time period may provide more accurate results, but it may also take longer to analyze the data.
