Statistical analysis and visualization of the potential cases of pandemic coronavirus

Abstract

A local outbreak of initially unknown cause pneumonia was detected in Wuhan (Hubei, China) in December 2019 and a novel coronavirus, the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, was quickly found to be causing it. Since then, the epidemic has spread to all of China's mainland provinces as well as 58 other countries and territories, with more than 87,137 confirmed cases around the globe, including 79,968 from China, 7169 from other countries as of 1 March 2020, as stated by the World Health Organization in the COVID-19 situation report-41. In response to this current public health emergency, this study done a statistical analysis and visualized reported cases of coronavirus disease 2019 based on the open data collection provided by Johns Hopkins University. Where the location and number of confirmed infected cases have been shown, there have also been deaths, recovered cases and comparisons of the growth rates between the Globe countries. This was intended to provide researchers, public health officials and the general public with exposure to the epidemic.Keywords COVID-19 Á Statistical analysis Á Visual data analysis Á Coronavirus Diseases and bacteria or viruses which cause them often have different names. The ''human immunodeficiency virus,'' HIV, for example, induces the ''acquired immunodeficiency disease,'' AIDS. The virus that triggers the current outbreak is called coronavirus 2, a serious acute respiratory syndrome shortened to SARS-CoV-2. The illness, shortened to COVID-19, is called coronavirus disease. The World Health Organization, and the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) [1], gave these names. In public speaking, the WHO also refers to the virus as ''the virus accountable for COVID-19,'' or ''the COVID-19 virus.'' The outbreak was first reported in Wuhan city, China. Wuhan is the capital of the Hubei Province and has a population of around 11 million. Chinese authorities reported a cluster of related pneumonia cases in the town on 29 December 2019. A novel coronavirus which was later called SARS-CoV-2 soon confirmed to cause these cases [2][3][4][5][6][7]. The first COVID-19 cases outside of China were found in Thailand on January 13 and in Japan on January 16 [8]. The Chinese Government put the city of Wuhan and other cities in the area on lockdown on January 23. COVID-19 has since spread to several more countries-cases have been recorded in all regions of the world. It grew into a global pandemic by March 2020, and was announced by the WHO as such [9][10][11]. While people sometimes refer to the virus that causes COVID-19 as ''the coronavirus,'' several different coronaviruses do exist. The word refers to a group of viruses specific to humans: coronaviruses cause about 30 percent of all cold cases [12]. Corona is Latin for ''crown''-this group of viruses is named because, under an electron microscope, its surface looks like a crown. As the outbreak of the novel SARS-CoV-2 is increasingly spreading in China and beyond, threatening to become a global pandemic, epidemiol...

COVID-19 Modeling: A Review

“…Other time-series models. In addition, other commonly used time-series models include linear regression models such as ARIMA and GARCH [247,253], logistic growth regression [283], Cox regression [237], multivariate and polynomial regression [6,55,105], generalized linear model and visual analysis [185], support vector regression (SVR) [102,229], regression trees [49], hazard and survival functions [237], and more modern LSTM networks [119]. In addition, temporal interpolation methods such as best fit cubic, exponential decay and Lagrange interpolation, spatial interpolation methods such as inverse distance weighting, smoothing methods such as moving average, and spatio-temporal interpolation have also been applied to fit and forecast COVID-19 case time-series.…”

Dynamic Distributed and Parallel Machine Learning algorithms for big data mining processing

“…So much so, that wherever the word “statistics” is used, “data science” is mentioned and vice versa (Schwab-McCoy et al , 2020). Consequently, recent research in data science has focused primarily on how to use statistical principles as the science that collects, analyzes and understands data (Muthusami and Saritha, 2020).…”

Analysing deaths and confirmed cases of COVID-19 pandemic by analytical approaches

“…Some researches even help shed light on resolving the pandemic via herd immunity [ 13 ] or map out the dynamical trajectory of the viruses [ 14 , 15 ]. Among those research, there are plenty of qualitative and quantitative research methods, in particular statistical methods: regression-related models [ 16 ], Mann-Whitney U tests, Mann-Kendal tests, Spearman’s rho, etc [ 17 , 18 ]; factorial design [ 19 ]; artificial intelligence (AI) based methods [ 20 , 21 ] and some deep learning techniques in COVID-19 diagnosis [ 22 , 23 ]. Coupling with AI, an automatic reasoning for searching the hidden features of the trend of COVID-19 is also vital [ 24 ].…”
