Forecasting Data

#416 Aug 27, 2023 pro

In this episode, we will look at a date range of data and build predictions of what future values will be. However, we won't be reaching for any 3rd party APIs, but instead use statistical models to learn from our data to predict the future dates. We'll also display out our data on a table and plot it to a graph.

In this episode, we'll run through how I use Docker on Rails applications and some of the tricks I use to solve the nuances of this approach.
