were used as it was found that using a dropout layer in conjunction with the early stopping technique reduced the overfitting of the data [38]. The optimal network structure was chosen from several network configurations listed in Table 3 and includes an input layer, three LSTM layers, an ANN layer, a fully connected layer, an output layer, and a regression layer. The network configuration shown in the third row (Serial No. 3) was chosen as it showed a high R 2 value with a 0.5 dropout rate.
