Estimating, monitoring, and forecasting COVID-19 epidemics: a spatiotemporal approach applied to NYC data

Abstract We propose a susceptible-exposed-infective-recovered-type (SEIR-type) meta-population model to simulate and monitor the (COVID-19) epidemic evolution. The basic model consists of seven categories, namely, susceptible (S), exposed (E), three infective classes, recovered (R), and deceased (D)...
