Handle missing values
In order to replace missing values in your time series data, you can use the command:
df = df.fillna(method="ffill")
where the argument specifies the type of method you want to use. For example, specifying bfill (i.e backfilling) will ensure that missing values are replaced using the next valid observation, while ffill (i.e. forward-filling) ensures that missing values are replaced using the last valid observation.
Recall from the previous exercise that co2_levels has 59 missing values.
