I was going to comment that this error depends on time of day, but then I reread the code and saw that you're actually calculating the average error during daylight hours. Somehow need to make that more clear.
Could also consider restricting the analysis to a couple of times of day. Or add a plot of error as a function of time of day for different shifts (though this depends on the time of year and location...). Maybe this is getting out of scope, sorry.

Added a plot along these lines and some other clarifications -- let me know what you think

most, but not all, of the other examples are in Title Case. Fine to leave it as is and kick the standards down the road.
