COVID-19 has had a disastrous impact on millions of lives all over the world.199,466,211 confirmed cases of COVID19 and 4,244,541 deaths have been reported to WHO till 4th august. Analyzing the available data and predicting the pandemic trend is important since the situation can be controlled only when there is adequate preparation. Research using epidemiological models helps in analyzing different facets of COVID including infection, recovery and death rate. Predicting the daily increase of cases can help reduce the burden on health care workers and government by aiding them in planning the required resources in advance. Thus, in this project data driven epidemic modelling approach is used. COVID cases of 10 forthcoming days using three modelling techniques namely Polynomial Regression, Bayesian Ridge Regression and Support Vector Machine are predicted. The performance metric used to identify the best model are MSE and MAE. Polynomial Regression is found to have best performance followed by Bayesian ridge regression. Support Vector Machine has a poor performance. Keywords: Epidemic Modelling, COVID-19, Machine Learning, Polynomial Regression, Bayesian Ridge Regression, Support Vector Machine
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
