Chapter 18: minor readability issue #295

There is an issue on chapter XXX, in the following paragraph Remember our goal here: we need to decide when to charge more and when to charge less depending on the day specific features, temp weekday and cost. If that’s the goal, the treatment effect heterogeneity model needs to be evaluated with respect to its usefulness in achieving this goal. We will get to that in a moment (and a lot more in the next chapter). For now, let’s just split the dataset into a training and testing set.
