Look inside

You’ve shown your expertise in successfully modeling a time series using classical models: moving average (simple MA and exponential MA), autoregressive (AR), and autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA). Your next step is to determine if there’s a way to boost the performance of the time series analysis. You decide you’ll apply an unconventional approach that’s increasingly popular in finance circles: a hybrid model that combines deep learning and classical approaches. For the deep learning models, you choose recurrent neural network (RNN) and long short-term memory (LSTM). In this liveProject, you’ll focus on preparing the data for the deep learning models. The good news is that in deep learning models, you avoid a long and cumbersome preprocessing stage since, unlike in many classical approaches, they are able to detect patterns almost automatically.

This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
