Forecasting Univariate Time Series with an LSTM (Coursera)

Forecasting Univariate Time Series with an LSTM (Coursera)

Create a Jupyter Notebook in order to forecast a univariate time series (in our case new one family home sales) using an LSTM. You will also be able to tell when univariate time series have the appropriate structure to be forecasted with LSTM's or even using any other univariate forecasting techniques.
