TCN architecture for time series

Temporal convolutional network was evaluated with respect to following points:

• Split selected dataset into training, evaluation and testing subsets
• Test set has lenght of seq_length + n_ahead where seq_length is length of sequence fed to TCN, and n_ahead is prediction length
• Train network using training and evaluation sets
• Feed seq_lenght of test set into trained network and get n_ahead predictions
• Evaluate n_ahead predictions against n_ahead from test set
