Forecasting using standard time series methods a range of commonly used indices used by the EFA to assist in predicitng future costs and or uncertainity about such costs.

we use the dygraphs package based on the javascript dygraphs charts plotting. Shiny is used for extra funcitonality. The ZRA package helped in combining all these tools.

We start off with a minimal viable product forecasting using the default of the forecast function in Rob Hyndman's forecast package. The default is ETS for the commonly used indices, we intend to add ARIMA functionality and additional data later.
