The prediction and analysis of COVID-19 epidemic trend by combining LSTM and Markov method

Abstract Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has spread rapidly to countries all around the world from the end of 2019, which caused a great impact on global health and has had a huge impact on many countries. Since there is still no effective treatment, it is essential to making effective predicti...

description Abstract Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has spread rapidly to countries all around the world from the end of 2019, which caused a great impact on global health and has had a huge impact on many countries.

Under the limited data, the prediction error of LSTM model will increase over time, and its prone to big bias for medium- and long-term prediction.
