Abstract

COVID-19 has significantly impacted the growth prediction of a pandemic, and it is critical in determining how to battle and track the disease progression. In this case, COVID-19 data is a time-series dataset that can be projected using different methodologies. Thus, this work aims to gauge the spread of the outbreak severity over time. Furthermore, data analytics and Machine Learning (ML) techniques are employed to gain a broader understanding of virus infections. We have simulated, adjusted, and fitted several statistical time-series forecasting models, linear ML models, and nonlinear ML models. Examples of these models are Logistic Regression, Lasso, Ridge, ElasticNet, Huber Regressor, Lasso Lars, Passive Aggressive Regressor, K-Neighbors Regressor, Decision Tree Regressor, Extra Trees Regressor, Support Vector Regressions (SVR), AdaBoost Regressor, Random Forest Regressor, Bagging Regressor , AuoRegression, MovingAverage, Gradient Boosting Regressor, Autoregressive Moving Average (ARMA), Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Averages (ARIMA), SimpleExpSmoothing, Exponential Smoothing, Holt-Winters, Simple Moving Average, Weighted Moving Average, Croston, and naive Bayes. Furthermore, our suggested methodology includes the development and evaluation of ensemble models built on top of the best-performing statistical and ML-based prediction methods. A third stage in the proposed system is to examine three different implementations to determine which model delivers the best performance. Then, this best method is used for future forecasts, and consequently, we can collect the most accurate and dependable predictions.
