有没有一种方法可以计算来自 LSTM（或其他递归）神经网络的时间序列预测的预测区间（概率分布）？
例如，假设我预测未来 10 个样本（t+1 到 t+10），基于最后 10 个观察到的样本（t-9 到 t），我预计 t+1 的预测会更多比 t+10 时的预测准确。通常，人们可能会在预测周围绘制误差线以显示间隔。使用 ARIMA 模型（假设误差为正态分布），我可以计算每个预测值周围的预测区间（例如 95%）。我可以从 LSTM 模型计算相同的（或与预测间隔相关的）吗？
我一直在使用 Keras/Python 中的 LSTM，遵循来自 machinelearningmastery.com 的大量示例，我的示例代码（如下）基于这些示例。我正在考虑将问题重新定义为离散箱的分类，因为这会产生每个类的置信度，但这似乎是一个糟糕的解决方案。
有几个类似的主题（如下所示），但似乎没有任何东西可以直接解决 LSTM（或实际上其他）神经网络的预测间隔问题：
