 However, other factors are available and may help in fee estimation, such as the day of the week since it's well-known the mempool usually empties during the [weekend]. Or the hour of the day to predict recurring daily events such as [bitmex withdrawals].

-Honestly, about the neural network parameters, they are mostly the one taken from this tensorflow [example], I even tried to [tune hyperparameters], however, I preferred, for now, to take this [advise]: *"The simplest way to prevent overfitting is to start with a small model:"*. I hope this work will attract expert data-scientist to this bitcoin problem, improving the model, and also, I think a longer time for the data collection is needed to capture various situations.

 A significant part of a ML model are the activation functions, `relu` (Rectified Linear Unit) is one of the most used lately, because it's simple and works well as I learned in this [introducing neural network video]. `relu` it's equal to zero for negative values and equal to the input for positive values. Being non-linear allows the whole model to be non-linear.
