It looks like NuPIC’s predictions are not shifted for plotting. See my comments [here](https://discourse.numenta.org/t/predict-value-expect-value/2894/8?u=rhyolight) and [here](http://nupic.numenta.narkive.com/rWcuyM2P/nupic-discuss-confusion-about-shifted-predictions).

Also, NuPIC is not going to perform well on very structured input. It will do better with lots of noisy input.
