Existing models about the dynamics of COVID-19 transmission often assume the mechanism of virus transmission and the form of the differential equations. These assumptions are hard to verify. Due to the biases of country-level data, it is inaccurate to construct the global dynamic of COVID-19. This research aims to provide a robust data-driven global model of the transmission dynamics. We apply sparse identification of nonlinear dynamics (SINDy) to model the dynamics of COVID-19 global transmission. One advantage is that we can discover the nonlinear dynamics from data without assumptions in the form of the governing equations. To overcome the problem of biased country-level data on the number of reported cases, we propose a robust global model of the dynamics by using maximin aggregation. Real data analysis shows the efficiency of our model.
现有的关于 COVID-19 传播动力学的模型通常假设病毒传播的机制和微分方程的形式。这些假设很难验证。由于国家层面数据的偏差,构建 COVID-19 的全球动态是不准确的。本研究旨在提供一个稳健的数据驱动的 COVID-19 传播动力学的全球模型。我们应用稀疏非线性动力学识别(SINDy)来模拟 COVID-19 的全球传播动力学。一个优点是,我们可以从数据中发现非线性动力学,而无需在控制方程的形式上做出假设。为了克服报告病例数量的国家层面数据的偏差问题,我们提出了一种使用极大极小聚集的稳健的全球动力学模型。实际数据分析表明了我们模型的效率。
