1. A data preprocessor for preprocessing input electronic commerce data for a non-linear model used to control an electronic commerce system, wherein said non-linear model comprises multiple inputs, each of the inputs associated with a portion of the input electronic commerce data, comprising:

  • an input buffer for receiving and storing the input electronic commerce data, the input electronic commerce data associated with at least two of the inputs being on different time scales relative to each other;

    a time merge device for selecting a predetermined time scale and reconciling the input electronic commerce data stored in the input buffer such that all of the input electronic commerce data for all of the inputs are on the same time scale; and

    an output device for outputting the electronic commerce data reconciled by the time merge device as reconciled electronic commerce data, said reconciled electronic commerce data comprising the input electronic commerce data to the non-linear model.
