Hi

I guess the first 3 values in all the variables are not according to the definition of the variable and the first 3 observations in all the variables can be ignored

Cases : Numver of cases recorded. (The values indicate the number of cases at time "t")

holiday =1 if day was a holiday and 0 if it is not a holiday

friday =1 if friday and 0 if it is not a Friday

saturday =1 if saturday and 0 if it is not Saturday

fullmoon =1 if moon was full and 0 if not fullmoon

newmoon =1 if moon was new moon and 0 if not new moon
