I'm trying to predict as accurately as possible. on what day a certain value will be reached.
The example I will use is recording the mileage driven on a daily basis. There will be days when a vehicle is driven more and some days, it may not be driven at all. Assuming I collect the mileage every day for x number of days, is there a way I can predict (approximately) which day I will need to change the oil at 3000 miles?
I realize that over time, the prediction would be more accurate but is there a formula I can use to do this?
