Building a Python LSTM Model for Time Series Forecasting
Introduction The provided code is a Python script that uses the Keras library to build and train a long short-term memory (LSTM) network for predicting future values in a time series dataset. The dataset used in this example appears to be mortgage interest rates, which are obtained from the Federal Reserve Economic Data website. In order to visualize the predicted values as a plot, we need to follow several steps including data preprocessing, creating lagged datasets, splitting into training and testing sets, scaling the data, fitting the model, making predictions, and inverting the scaling.
