Jay,
If everyone is as confused as I am about exactly what the influence period actually does (ie, how is it calculated, what is the mathmatical reasoning behind it), then its no wonder that anyone has commented!
I have pondered the effects of changing the influence period, but have no had time to play with it - I've also tried to find it in textbooks, etc. that discuss Time Series predictions - all to no avail. I am going to play with that idea when time permits.
I also worry that by changing all, or many, of the inputs to long influences that we may be just giving the net a whole bunch of information and letting it try to sort it out (to paraphrase a quote from a book, something about the kitchen sink, mentioned in a previous post!)
Who Knows? If it works, we'll all be setting them at 30 days!
Bill
