Prepare the Data

The weatherAUS data comes from the Rattle package (https://rattle.togaware.com). It covers some 50 weather stations in Australia with over 10 years of daily observations of some 20 variables. The data is loaded, cleansed and wrangled, and prepared for modelling, as explained in the OnePageR chapter on data templates:
