In this work, we use a classical SIR model to study COVID-19 pandemic. We aim, to deal with the SIR model fitting to COVID-19 data by using different technics and tools. We particularly use two ways: the first one start by fitting the total number of the confirmed cases and the second use a parametric solver tool. Finally a comparative forecasting, machine learning tools, is given.

Matching journals

The top 10 journals account for 50% of the predicted probability mass.

"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.
