Description

It may happen that older data negatively affect forecasts. For example, the impact of seasonality can change over time.

Would it be possible to add a parameter to set a maximum window size for the data considered (eg. max 2 years in the past)?

In particular, for `cross_validation`, we would have a maximum window size for the historical data, so we can discard older data in cross-validation (instead of having a forever-expanding window).

Thanks
