Time series analysis of the COVID19/ SARS-CoV-2 spread in Hungary is presented. Different methods effective for short-term forecasting are applied to the dataset, and predictions are made for the next 20 days. Autoregression and other exponential smoothing methods are applied to the dataset. SIR model is used and predicted 64% of the population could be infected by the virus considering the whole population is susceptible to be infectious Autoregression, and exponential smoothing methods indicated there would be more than a 60% increase in the cases in the coming 20 days. The doubling of the number of total cases is found to around 16 days using an effective reproduction number.

Matching journals

The top 8 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.
