I am looking for a statistician / mathematician who can create a mathematical formula for me that formally describes a phenomenon which is (I suppose) common in time series analysis or data science. This formula doesn't have to be "correct" or calculable in the strict sense - it should just explain a principle. This principle reads as follows (please also see the table attached in which I illustrate the idea): Entertainment (outcome = y) is a function of a particular sequence of events (experiences E; e.g. emotions) for several points in time (t0 to tn). Each emotion at each time point can have a magnitude between (0 to 5). For example, you start watching a movie and your emotion of E1 = joy is at t0 = 0 ("intercept"), at timepoint t1 it is 1, at t2 it is 5, at t3 it is 0, at t4 it is 5 etc. (see row 1 in the example). The formula now should show that the entertainment experience of the whole movie (y) at the end (post exposure) is a function of all the subsequent different "joys" during watching. What makes it a little more complicated is, that you cannot say that a maximum of joys during watching leads to the maximum of entertainment in the end. It could also be the case that a "rollercoaster of joys" (01051041 etc) will produce the "maximum" of entertainment in the end. So the function is, perhaps, not "linear" (sorry I am not a mathematician. I just try to explain what I mean). What comes on top is that we do not only experience joy during watching, but also hate, anger, disgust, anticipation, trust, fear, surprise, and sadness (E2 to En). So the formula should not only carry the evolution of joy but also the evolution of n other experiences emotions (these are the rows 2 - 8) I now want to present this idea that entertainment is a function of configurations of experiences (emotions) over time in a mathematical formula, like Entertainment = ... The measurements in the table are just arbitrary examples.

I am a mathematician and data scientist with experience finding or modeling custom functions based on data, or concepts or restrictions. I am sure I can do this, however I would like to clarify what exactly you want the function to be, mainly what are the inputs of the function, what is the output. We can talk in more detail about your problem if you are not versed enough in math to clarify this concepts. I have 100% completion rate, so with me you are guaranteed to get the job done.

I have to first see the detail, but I believe I can do your project in less than three days! I studied mathematics for almost 10 years now and my speciality is to solve the time series problems using dynamic programming or other approaches...
