How the forecast was made

Exponential smoothing7% weekly error, unbiased47% better than naive

A weighted recent average that learns the weekday pattern and any trend. Recent days count more than old ones.

Report card: the model was fit on history up to Tue Jul 21 and scored on the 56 days after. Weekly totals were off by 7% on average (20% day by day), and it showed no systematic bias. A same-weekday-last-week guess would have been off by 13%.
