value prediction with tensorflow and python - machine-learning

Question

I have a data set which contains a list of stock prices. I need to use the tensorflow and python to predict the close price.
Q1: I have the following code which takes the first 2000 records as training and 2001 to 20000 records as test but I don't know how to change the code to do the prediction of the close price of today and 1 day later??? Please advise!

Answer 1

Very simply, prediction (a.k.a. scoring or inference) comes from running the input through only the forward pass, and collecting the score for each input vector. It's the same process flow as testing. The difference is the four stages of model use:
Train: learn from the training data set; adjust weights as needed.
Test: evaluate the model's performance; if accuracy has converged, stop training.
Validate: evaluate the accuracy of the trained model. If it doesn't meet acceptance criteria, change something and start over with the training.
Predict: you've passed validation -- release the model for use by the intended application.
All four steps follow the same forward logic flow; training includes back-propagation; the others do not. Simply follow the forward-only process, and you'll get the result form you need.
I worry about your data partition: only 10% for training, 90% for testing, and none for validation. A more typical split is 50-30-20, or something in that general area.

Answer 2

Q-1 : You should change your LSTM parameter to return a sequence of size two which will be prediction for that day and the day after.
Q-2 it's clearly that your model is underfitting the data, which is so obvious with your 10% train 90% test data ! You should more equilibrated ratio as suggested in the previous answer.
