Prediction and Analysis of COVID-19 Epidemic Based on Improved GEP Algorithm to Optimize SEIR Mode

ABSTRACT

In 2019, COVID-19 (CoronaVirus Disease 2019) broke out all over the world. COVID-19 is an infectious disease, which has a huge impact on the global economy. It is very difficult to prevent and control the epidemic situation of this infectious disease. At present, many SEIR(Susceptible Exposed Infected Recovered)models are used to predict the number of infectious diseases, which has the shortcomings of low prediction accuracy and inaccurate inflection point prediction. Therefore, this paper proposes that the prediction and analysis of COVID-19 based on improved GEP algorithm and optimized SEIR model can improve the prediction accuracy and inflection point prediction accuracy, and provide a theoretical basis for epidemic prevention of large-scale infectious diseases in the future. The algorithm. First, establish SEIR (Susceptible Exposed Infected Recovered) model to analyze the epidemic trend, and then use improved GEP (Gene Expression Programming) algorithm to analyze the infection coefficient of SEIR model beta And coefficient of restitution y, perform parameter estimation to optimize the initial value I and recovery coefficient of the infected population y and so on to improve the accuracy of model prediction. The experimental data take the number of COVID-19 infected people in the United States, China, the United Kingdom and Italy as examples. The results show that the SEIR model optimized based on the improved GEP algorithm conforms to the inflection point of the actual data, and the average error value is 1.32%. The algorithm provides a theoretical basis for the future epidemic prevention. © 2022 IEEE.
