A Bayesian Logistic Growth Model for the Spread of COVID-19 in New York
Bliznashki, S.
Show abstract
We use Bayesian Estimation for the logistic growth model in order to estimate the spread of the coronavirus epidemic in the state of New York. Models weighting all data points equally as well as models with normal error structure prove inadequate to model the process accurately. On the other hand, a model with larger weights for more recent data points and with t-distributed errors seems reasonably capable of making at least short term predictions.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
