Dear U, If there is no temporal component to your problem, I'm not sure NuPIC will work for you. But I don't really understand the problem. Are you trying to predict the outcome of a function based upon the input params of the function? Silly question, but why not just run the function instead of a prediction engine? --------- Matt Taylor OS Community Flag-Bearer Numenta
