Hi @pguler,

Thank you for providing those details of your setup.

These are: min, max, radius, resolution, is periodic, is clipped, is forced …

Right off, your resolution seems off. Since there are 100 increments per bucket, you could try putting 100 here.  
making it: ```1, 1000, 0, 100, …

Also you could try a radius of “50” to give it perfect contiguous overlap (experiment with this one).

I am not the most experienced “user” of NuPIC, so I will have to _play_ with it and get back to you. You might also try printing out the parameter settings at the end of your run with ```connections. printParameters()`` - which could be helpful to look at…

Also, if anyone else from Numenta has any ideas please chime in?

In the meantime:  
1.) You could try using the configurations used for the DayOfWeek examples which are used quite frequently for testing (see the tests and examples code) - because the inputs are very similar (small limited cyclical set).  
2.) Try using the RandomDistributedScalarEncoder which configures `w` and `n` automatically. (See the tests which call the setup of the encoder parameters for the RDSE)

…again, I’m going to try running this myself - but I won’t be able to get back to you with my results immediately, but sometime today…

Cheers,  
David
