Ding!  We have a winner :)

Thanks Max, that's exactly the problem.  I don't know how I missed that.

I'm looking for different modeling functions to try for best predictive 
results.  An SVM isn't bad, but I'm looking for more.  The RVM sounded 
interesting, but I guess it won't work for my application.

THANK YOU!
