Neural Networks for Time Series Forecasting with R

Book excerpt: Finally, A Blueprint for Neural Network Time Series Forecasting with R! Neural Networks for Time Series Forecasting with R offers a practical tutorial that uses hands-on examples to step through real-world applications using clear and practical case studies. Through this process it takes you on a gentle, fun and unhurried journey to creating neural network models for time series forecasting with R. Whether you are new to data science or a veteran, this book offers a powerful set of tools for quickly and easily gaining insight from your data using R. NO EXPERIENCE REQUIRED: This book uses plain language rather than a ton of equations; I'm assuming you never did like linear algebra, don't want to see things derived, dislike complicated computer code, and you're here because you want to try neural networks for time series forecasting for yourself. YOUR PERSONAL BLUE PRINT: Through a simple to follow step by step process, you will learn how to build neural network time series forecasting models using R. Once you have mastered the process, it will be easy for you to translate your knowledge into your own powerful applications. THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU IF YOU WANT: Explanations rather than mathematical derivation Practical illustrations that use real data. Illustrations to deepen your understanding. Worked examples in R you can easily follow and immediately implement. Ideas you can actually use and try on your own data. TAKE THE SHORTCUT: This guide was written for people just like you. Individuals who want to get up to speed as quickly as possible. In this book you will learn how to: YOU'LL LEARN HOW TO: Unleash the power of Long Short-Term Memory Neural Networks.
