## Read Challenge Data and the Prediction Template
Each of the 71 variables is broken up into **6 non-overlapping observations** in each time period. For example `X1` has six monthly observations in each period represented as `X1_1`, `X1_2`,...,`X1_6`
To make it easier to model, we will average the 6 observations within each `time_period`.
