How to run code

1. Run MLP model by: mlp.py
2. Run Rnn-based model (RNN, LSTM) by: script_traditional_rrn_based.py (multiprocessing)
3. All hybrid-MLP model by: script_hybrid_mlp.py (multiprocessing also)
4. Get the results table mean, std, cv by: get_table_results.py
5. Results saved in folder: history/results/ based on daily or weekly datatype
