Sometimes it is not so much adaptation that is needed. But rather just
capturing the transition of cycles.
Consider a house located in a region that has warm summers and cold
winters. The variables would be climate control (e.g. air
conditioner/heater). The variable values will change as the seasons
unfold. To optimize comfort, we will be using increased air
conditioning during the summers and increased heating during the
winters.
By experimenting with OOS time periods we may be able to identify
market cycles. If you only reoptimized your values once a year (e.g.
set for average temperature for the year), your climate control would
likely be generally too warm in the summers and generally too cold in
the winters. But, if you reoptimized monthly, then you would gradually
use increasing air conditioning leading into the summer and conversely
gradually increase heating leading into the winter.
Obviously the markets are not so perfectly cyclical as the seasons.
But, the example illustrates the point.
