st: panel data: creating a nonlinear decay function

[Rufus Peabody <rufus.peabody@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

I'm attempting to create a model to predict performance.  I have about  
100 different groups, and have about 10-15 observations for each.   
What I'd like to do is, for one variable, determine how much I should  
weigh each previous observation.  I don't have as much experience with  
time series commands and was hoping someone could point me in the  
right direction.

Thanks,
Rufus
