enter image description here

On 29 February 2020, the China National Health Commission reported 423 new cases of coronavirus for Hubei and only 4 cases for the rest of the country. The logistic function fit to the data from the Johns Hopkins CSSE, have been showing for a while that the epidemic should end outside of the Hubei province in the first week of March. The recent report seems to confirm this prediction.

This notebook contains some updated and new functions that were not in my previous posts.

The graphic below shows the first and second derivative plots of the logistic function. The red dot is at the current day number on the first derivative curve. The green dots are the points calculated by the logistic differential equation, using each data point. The prediction for the last case date is printed (probably not accurate until there are at least three weeks of new data).

Fitting to the Logistic Differential Equation

These graphics show a method of fitting to the equation for the logistic first derivative.

f'[t]=kx1-

The value of x is the number of cumulative cases. This is a quadratic equation with roots at x = 0 and x = L, and peak at x = L/2. The first derivative is obtained from the data by making an interpolation function (Method  “Spline” is default) from the data then using the function to calculate first derivative at each point. The 95% confidence intervals are shown for the quadratic fit. Clearly the data sets show quite a lot of irregularity by this method. The smoother data set, notHubei, shows the later points becoming more accurate. The parameters are similar to the fit to the logistic function.

Thanks a lot Robert! I really enjoy reading it. I wonder why you have used interpolation to get dataDE in your function logisticDEFit? For example, look at this notebook where I compare my suggestion with your interpolation data:

Hi, I really appreciate the job you did. I use to use statistics in my professional activity, and I'm quite familiar with problems concerning the "bayesian calibration of computer code outputs". Since a few weeks I'm analysing the data about the CoVid19 outbreak and one of my main question is "how can we infer the value of the mortality rate" ? This is not a trivial problem and I think that bayesian inference (I don't know if you are familiar with this topic?) could enable estimating the distribution of "credible" mortality rates. Do you have some knowledge about works concerning this approach? df

Right now I don't think the problem can be solved. Deaths are easy to count and because they were ill first most all were tested, but the number of infected people is determined by testing, which has varied widely by location and indication. Until there has been surveillance testing in a large community to know the incidence and prevalence of infection, I don't think you can estimate probabilities needed for Bayesian inference.
