How temporal weighting affects learning over time
Recent outcomes matter more than old ones. The decay factor determines how quickly old data fades.
Example: A tool with mixed recent history
| Days Ago | Outcome | Raw Value | Weight | Weighted |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 (today) | Success | 1.0 | 1.00 | 1.00 |
| 1 | Success | 1.0 | 0.95 | 0.95 |
| 3 | Failure | 0.0 | 0.86 | 0.00 |
| 7 | Success | 1.0 | 0.70 | 0.70 |
| 14 | Success | 1.0 | 0.49 | 0.49 |
| Totals: | 4.00 | 3.14 | ||
