Description
So I have an array of numbers like this (~150 distinct numbers):
```
[ 307.655296, 308.34, 308.62, 308.0020728, 308.0799444, 307.835, 307.72921, 307.899735, ...]
```
My goal is to be able to predict the next number in the sequence. But I'm unsure how many input numbers are ideal to get the best result :thinking:
For training, I:
1. Normalize array so each value is `< 1`
2. Initiate network: `const net = new brain.recurrent.LSTMTimeStep(netOptions)`
3. Train network: `net.train(trainArray, trainingOptions)`
4. Get to a low `training error` of `~0.001`
But now when I run `net.run(testArray)` I don't know how many values in the `testArray` are needed? 1, 2, 4, ... 10, etc? It seems like the more numbers the better, but I'm not sure what the rule of thumb is, or the proper way to go about this.
For example, even using `6` values from the `trainArray` in the `testArray` I only get about `60%` accurate results.
Thanks in advance!
