A dynamic early warning model based on LSTM-AM for property-based elderly care resource shortages in urban-rural integrated counties in China by Qingheng Sun

“…Results show that, taking Xuchang City, Henan Province as an example, by integrating multi-source time-series data such as county-level population aging rates, property-based elderly care service coverage rates, community facility maintenance data, and resident demand feedback, the model’s prediction error (MAE ≤ 0. 12, RMSE ≤ 0. 18) was reduced by 35% compared to traditional methods, and the warning accuracy (F1-score = 0. 89) was significantly superior to traditional models. …”
