Summary  
This chapter demonstrates how to implement LSTM networks for sequential data prediction by performing forward-pass computations that update long-term and short-term memory states through forget, input, and output gates.

General domain of usage  
Business forecasting

An example of how **LSTM** networks can be applied to time series prediction is explored. The following graph illustrates the performance of **Company A** over a period of five months.


- **Data**: the x-axis represents the **months**, while the y-axis shows the **performance metric** (e.g., sales, revenue, etc.) ranging from 5 to 15;
- **Time series forecasting**: an LSTM can be used to analyze the trend and predict future values based on past data. In the graph, we can see fluctuations, which LSTM will analyze to predict future months;
- **LSTM application**: using past months' data, the LSTM network learns the pattern of increases and decreases in Company A's performance and can forecast future performance trends.



This is a typical application of **LSTM** in business forecasting, where past performance is used to predict future trends. The LSTM model learns from the time series data and can be used for more accurate predictions, especially when there are complex dependencies over time.


What does the y-axis represent in the performance graph for Company A?
