/**
 * This class implements a temporal neural data set. A temporal neural dataset
 * is designed to use a neural network to predict.
 *
 * A temporal dataset is a stream of data over a time range. This time range is
 * broken up into "points". Each point can contain one or more values. These
 * values are either the values that you would like to predict, or use to
 * predict. It is possible for a value to be both predicted and used to predict.
 * For example, if you were trying to predict a trend in a stock's price
 * fluctuations you might very well use the security price for both.
 *
 * Each point that we have data for is stored in the TemporalPoint class. Each
 * TemporalPoint will contain one more data values. These data values are
 * described by the TemporalDataDescription class. For example, if you had five
 * TemporalDataDescription objects added to this class, each Temporal point
 * object would contain five values.
 *
 * Points are arranged by sequence number. No two points can have the same
 * sequence numbers. Methods are provided to allow you to add points using the
 * Date class. These dates are resolved to sequence number using the level of
 * granularity specified for this class. No two points can occupy the same
 * granularity increment.
