Getting predictions farther in the future than the input interval

Engineering NuPIC

Is there a way to ask NuPIC to make predictions every 24 hours. And give it input data for of a lower time interval, say every 5 minutes for example? My thought is, it might help it make more accurate predictions if it’s given more granular data than it’s being asked to predict.

*UPDATE: I didn’t see Matt’s response until I posted this. sorry about the delay. Maybe I need someone to give me some time stamped data. :blush:

Yes, you can predict as many steps ahead as you want, but keep in mind that this will decrease prediction accuracy and increase compute time because it needs to iterate through each prediction to get ahead to the next one. Steps can be specified as an array of integers within model parameters.
