Its ```inputs``` are the number of ```confirm``` cases, the number of ```suspect``` cases, and days ```t``` since the start of the epidemic. Here, we use the December 1st, 2019 as the start of the epidemic, which is the first nCoV case reported. - Summary * This study seeks to estimate the basic reproduction number by deriving R0 from the SEIR model. As of 2020-02-14, R0 is estimated to be 2.41. - Model *                    where,                    lambda is the growth rate of estimated infectious                    rho is the ratio of latent period over generation period. ### Model 2: Forecasting Using SEIR model - Purpose * Forecast the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic peak time in metropolis by applying a deterministic SEIR metapopulation transmission model - Usage * Download my Jupyter notebook file: [SEIR.ipynb](https://github.com/yijunwang0805/YijunWang/blob/master/SEIR%20Forecast_Yijun%20Wang%20%26%20Owen%20Xu/SEIR.ipynb). * ```R0Func()``` is the function that calculates the newest basic reproduction number given up to date statistics. Its ```inputs``` are the number of ```confirm``` cases, the number of ```suspect``` cases, and days ```t``` since the start of the epidemic. Here, we use the December 1st, 2019 as the start of the epidemic, which is the first nCoV case reported. * ```SEIR()``` is the epidemic model that describes the system of differential equations. * ```betaFunc()``` and ```gammaFunc()``` calculate the value of transmissibility and removal rate, respectively. * ```spi.odeint()``` solves the system of differential equations. Its ```inputs``` are the epidemic model ```SEIR()```, initial value of susceptible, exposed, infectious, removal ```INI```, and the number of days since the epidemic ```Time``` * Please note the **several assumptions** will limit the use of this model, for instance, assumption of consistent behaviors before and during the epidemic means that people do **not** implement social or non-pharmaceutical intervention. - Summary * This study seeks to forecast the peak time of SARS-CoV-2 cases. We find, under the assumptions of no quaratine intervention, Wuhan reach peak infectiouson March 3, 2020; Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou would each peak infectious in the middle of May. * Sensitivity analysis shows that reducing half of the number of catchment size and the reproductive number would reduce the magnitude of epidemic by more than 60%, while lengthening the peak to June and duration of the epidemic to August. - Model * A typical **SEIR** (susceptible, exposed, infectious, removed) model can be described as a system of differential equations                                       where,                    S(t) is the number of susceptible at time t                    E(t) is the number of exposed at time t                    I(t) is the number of infectious at time t                    R(t) is the number of removed, which includes the number of recovered and dead at time t                    N(t) is the population at time t                    N(t) = S(t) + E(t) + I(t) + R(t) ### Model 3: MCMC under spatial SEIR (In progress) - Use Metropolis-Hastings-based Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) to estimate the parameters of the spatial SEIR model ### Model 4: Impact on Economic Growth (In progress) - A panel approach for external shock: - exploiting the dependence among cross-sectional units to construct the counterfactuals? - IV? ### Model 5: LSTM and ARIMA short-term forecasting (In progress) ### Special Thanks to - [Wuhan 2020](https://github.com/wuhan2020/nCov-2019-data-science)'s data science team - [BlankerL](https://github.com/BlankerL/DXY-COVID-19-Crawler)'s Crawler
