Exercise

Predict bike rentals on new data

In this exercise you will use the model you built in the previous exercise to make predictions for the month of August. The data set bikesAugust has the same columns as bikesJuly.

Recall that you must specify type = "response" with predict() when predicting counts from a glm poisson or quasipoisson model.
