Plot Trends Over Time

[kaylarobinson077]

Right now we show aggregate counts / LOS across all dogs over all time. If we could plot trends over time, it would be interesting to see how LOS or counts have varied over time.

• [x] Create a new "Trends Over Time" page(s)
• [x] Add plot with x-axis of month - year, y-axis of length of stay
• [x] Add plot with x-axis of month - year, y-axis of count of dogs
• [x] Extra Credit: Let users add different colored lines to the plot corresponding to "groups". There's several options of how we do this that would be valuable, some ideas / options below:
  • "group by" an attribute (age, size, etc) and make a colored line on the plots per unique value in that category
  • "group by" breed, but since there's a huge number of breeds, we'd probably want to do something like we have in the sidebar where you can select a number of random breeds, or can specifically type in a list of breeds
  • "filter by" where you can bunch through a bunch of attributes to define each group, sort of like the two columns we have on the other pages

From Forecasting Intake Issue - Christine from Rescue Chicago expressed that having forecasts for intake would both help them plan internally, and communicate out their anticipated needs to transfer facilities. For example, this can help transfer facilities plan their long-distance transfers in anticipation of CACC needs.

This ticket is to iterate on the initial forecasting POC that @TheeChris completed, and see if we can improve it, and also explore any of the driving factors for intake rates.

Some ideas to get started might include exploring forecasting methods, accounting for known trends like seasonality, handling the crazy data from 2020, etc.
