Task 9 Estimation Mode (milestone)

• Jeff finishing up first draft of estimation data bundle example
• Mark helping us spec it out
• Also working on functionality to read observed choices instead of simulated choices and build downstream data
• We're implementing just a few submodels round trip - from activitysim to estimation and back
• We're planning to have an example next week to aid in the discussion
• Let's continue to discuss and design how we can improve the input and output formats / data model for activitysim to make the experience for the user as painless as possible
• We need to continue discussing this important and complex feature so let's keep it on the agenda for the upcoming weeks
