- All LSTM models were trained on closing price data obtained from the Pakistan Stock Exchange's official website.
- The data set was divided into two parts.
- The part uptil 8th October 2020 was used to train the models, and the part from 9th October 2020 to 2nd July 2021 was used for testing purposes.
- After testing all the models, the testing data was combined with the training data to train all the models with a larger data set.
To determine the accuracy of the models, I calculated the Mean Absolute Percentage Error using the predicted and actual closing price values for the testing data.
