To estimate the magnitude of the frequency components, feedforward neural network (FNN), recurrent neural network (RNN), gated recurrent unit (GRU), long short-term memory (LSTM), bidirectional LSTM (BiLSTM), and one-dimensional convolutional neural network (1D-CNN) architectures were employed. The performance of each model is evaluated using mean squared error (MSE), mean absolute error (MAE), and R-square (R2) metrics. Experimental results show that the LSTM model outperforms the others, achieving an R-square value of 0.7742 and a MAE value of 0.1375. In contrast, the FNN model exhibits limited predictive capability on the Fourier-transformed data, which may be attributed to its insufficient capacity to model the temporal dependencies, and complex patterns present in the data.}, number={2}, publisher={Bilecik Seyh Edebali University}
