Is your enhancement request to replace an existing functionality within TheTransitClock? The enhancement will consist in modifying the criteria for filtering input data

Is your enhancement request related to a problem? Please describe. Biases can cause travel time predictions to be systematically optimistic or pessimistic. Ensuring that the median prediction error is close to zero is important to maximize prediction accuracy.

Describe the solution you'd like Identify outliers in input data, evaluate the impact of implementing different filters, implement filter that minimizes bias.
