Example 5: Setting Up a Prediction with a Range

This example shows how to set up prediction for a title with issues that:

Are published every week
Have a chronology that looks like this: Jan. 1‑7, 2002
Have an enumeration that looks like this: V. 10, N. 1; Issue 54 (While the Number resets every January 1, the Issue numbers are continuous.)
