Seasonality and moving averages

Stepping back, we will now look at the overall revenue data for our meditation app. We saw strong purchase growth in one of our products, and now we want to see if that is leading to a corresponding rise in revenue. As you may expect, revenue is very seasonal, so we want to correct for that and unlock macro trends.

In this exercise, we will correct for weekly, monthly, and yearly seasonality and plot these over our raw data. This can reveal trends in a very powerful way.

The revenue data is loaded for you as daily_revenue.
