“…Several mathematical models have been devised to predict the epidemiologic trend of the COVID-19 outbreak, including stochastic/mathematical (integer derivative [15] , [16] or fractional-order [17] , [18] , [19] ) models, mass-action, (spatial) structured metapopulation, agent-based networked, and other compartmentalized models [20] , among others. According to a systematic survey of the literature, synthesizing 242 studies, 46.1% of studies used compartmental models, 31.8% statistical models (growth models and time series), 6.7%, 4.7%, 3.3%, 2.3% and 1.3% Artificial Intelligence-, Bayesian approach-, hybrid, network- and individual agent-based models, respectively [21] .…”
