No, sorry.  SequenceStatistics doesn't provide the means to remove a
datum or update its weight, so it can't be used this way.  It does make
sense for your use case to have a statistics class working the way you
describe, but you'll need either to modify the existing class or write a
new one.

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
