What's the deal with fading tables ?

[Anders L Madsen]

When updating the tables in the light of new observations, it is often relevant to let the old observations "fade out". This is the case, when the modeled domain is dynamic. The fading tables specify how fast the old observations are faded. A value of 1 in the fading table means that the old observations are not faded, and a value very close to zero means that they will fade almost immediately (a value of 0 will disable adaptation for that parent configuration).
