+# Forerad
+Trying to learn about statistics and forecasting via doing stuff with Citibike data. Also trying to prevent myself from going down another Factorio wormhole by essentially doing the same thing but a bit more useful.
+
+Goal: come up with a somewhat decent 3-to-7 day Citibike ride forecast.
+
+## Planning
+Data collection is the hardest part. I need to:
+
+1. Build a scraper job that fetches, cleans, and stores historical ride data.
+2. Build a scraper job that fetches, cleans, and stores any relevant real-time data.
+3. Build a forecasting job that combines these datasets into a 3 day prediction.
+ * The MVP should just take the historical average for the day of the year.
+4. Build a job that calculates MAPE for previous forecasts as realtime data comes out.
