Would it be an idea to transfer such examples to the wiki?

Cheers,

Hi Christian, 

it's some time ago I wrapped my head around this, but if I'm not 
mistaken, it should be like this.

Yes, there is a difference. 
[4,0,1,1] means you keep 
* the last 4 week, so 4 * FullPeriod 
* None that is 6 weeks old, 4 weeks + (2 * FullPeriod) 
* one that is 8 weeks old (last one is 4 weeks old and you wait another 
4 * FullPeriod -> 8 weeks) 
* one that is 16 weeks old (last one was 8 weeks and you wait 8 * 
FullPeriod) 
So, you have weeks 1,2,3,4,8,16 

Now the same for [3,0,1,1] 
1,2,3,7,15

[3,0,1,1] = 1,2,3,7,14 

[3,0,2] = 1,2,3,7,11 

I hope this helps.
