Pandemic Metric with Confidence (PMC) Model to Predict Trustworthy
Probability of Utilized COVID-19 Pandemic Trajectory across the Global
Abstract
Lots of works aim to reveal the driving factors of COVID-19 pandemic
trajectory yet ignore the confidence of utilized trajectory data, making
consequent results suspicious. Hereby, we proposed a pandemic metric
with confidence (PMC) model in the hypothesis of Bernoulli Distribution
of nine trajectories reported from 113 countries. Results exhibit the
average confidence of trajectories across the global not in excess of
12.1% with the error threshold configuration of 1E-5. In contrast, the
95% high confidence setting also failed to predict the trajectory
containing the acceptable error not beyond 1E-3. Thus, a proposed
trade-off strategy between two contradictory expections
(>50% confidence, <1E-3 error) supports 61% of
investigated countries to predict the varying trajectory with confidence
beyond 50%. Moreover, PMC model recommend the remanent 39% countries
to extend the proportion of populaces in COVID-19 detecting-pool to a
suggested-value (>1% of populations), ensuing the average
confidence up to 70%.
