Comparative Study Of Best Time-Series Models For Urgent Pandemic Management-1

Here we have used Conv1d with TimeDistributed Layer, which is then fed to a single layer of LSTM, to predicted different sequences, as illustrated by the figure below. The CNN model is built first, where each layer in the CNN model is wrapped in a TimeDistributed layer, and then added to the LSTM model. However, the other alternative approach could be used to construct the CNN model first, then add it to the LSTM model by wrapping the entire sequence of CNN layers in a TimeDistributed layer. TimeDistributed Layer is primarily used to present several sets of data (say sequences/mages) that are chronologically ordered to detect trends/ movements, actions, directions.
