The number of COVID-19 cases in India is increasing expeditiously. The National and native authorities are having a tough time to make a pattern, analyze and forecast the spread of COVID-19 in India. The main focus of this paper is to draw a statistical model for better understanding of COVID-19 spread in India by thoroughly studying the reported cases in the country till 14 March 2020. An Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) technique is being implemented to review and analyze the reported COVID-19 cases in India. The results of the analysis divulge the impact of COVID-19 in India on daily and weekly manner, analysis of different states of India, analogize India with abutting countries also like the countries who are badly affected.

Purpose Fiscal fund is the key support of carbon emissions control for local governments. This paper aims to analyze the impact of fiscal decentralization on carbon emissions by spatial Durbin model (SDM), and verify the existence of “free-riding” phenomenon to reveal the behavior of local governments in carbon emissions control. Design/methodology/approach Based on the provincial data of carbon emissions from 2005 to 2016 in China, this paper uses spatial exploratory data analysis technology to analyze the spatial correlation characteristics and constructs SDM to test the impact of fiscal decentralization on carbon emissions. Findings The results show that carbon emissions exhibits significant spatial autocorrelation in China, and the increasing of fiscal decentralization in the region will increase carbon emissions in surrounding areas and on the whole. Then, by comparing the impact of fiscal decentralization on carbon emissions and industrial solid waste, it is found that “free-riding” phenomenon of carbon emissions control exists in China. Practical implications Based on the spatial cluster characteristics of China’s provincial carbon emissions, carbon emissions control regions can be divided into regions and different carbon emission control policies can be formulated for different cluster regions. Carbon emissions indicators should be included in the government performance appraisal policy, and carbon emissions producer survey should be increased in environmental policies to avoid “free-riding” behaviors of local government in carbon emissions control in China. Originality/value This paper contributes to fill this gap and fully considers the spatial spillover characteristics of carbon emissions by introducing spatial exploratory data analysis technology, constructs SDM to test the impact of fiscal decentralization on carbon emissions in the perspective of space econometrics, and tests the existence of “free-riding” phenomenon in carbon emissions control for local governments in China.

UNSTRUCTURED Objective: Recent Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has inflicted the whole world critically. Despite the fact that India has not been listed amongst the top ten highly affected countries, one cannot rule out COVID-19 associated complications in the near future. The accumulative testing facilities has resulted in exponential increase in COVID-19 infection cases. In figures, the number of positive cases have risen up to 33,614 as of 30 April, 2020. Keeping into consideration the serious consequences of pandemic, we aim to establish correlations between the numerous features which was acquired from the various Indian-based COVID datasets, and the impact of the containment of the pandemic on the current state of Indian population using machine learning approach. We aim to build the COVID-19 severity model employing logistic function which determines the inflection point and help in prediction of the future number of confirmed cases. Methods: An empirical study was performed on the COVID-19 patient status in India. We performed the study commencing from 30 January, 2020 to 30 April, 2020 for the analysis. We applied the machine learning (ML) approach to gain the insights about COVID-19 incidences in India. Several diverse exploratory data analysis ML tools and techniques were applied to establish a correlation amongst the various features. Also, the acute stage of the disease was mapped in order to build a robust model. Results: We collected five different datasets to execute the study. The data sets were integrated extract the essential details. We found that men were more prone to get infected of the coronavirus disease as compared to women. Also, the age group was the middle-young age of patients. On 92-days based analysis, we found a trending pattern of number of confirmed, recovered, deceased and active cases of COVID-19 in India. The as-developed growth model provided an inflection point of 85.0 days. It also predicted the number of confirmed cases as 48,958.0 in the future i.e. after 30th April. Growth rate of 13.06 percent was obtained. We achieved statistically significant correlations amongst growth rate and predicted COVID-19 confirmed cases. Conclusion: This study demonstrated the effective application of exploratory data analysis and machine learning in building a mathematical severity model for COVID-19 in India.

UNSTRUCTURED Covid-19 outbreak was first reported in Wuhan, China. The deadly virus spread not just the disease, but fear around the globe. On January 2020, WHO declared COVID-19 as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC). First case of Covid-19 in India was reported on January 30, 2020. By the time, India was prepared in fighting against the virus. India has taken various measures to tackle the situation. In this paper, an exploratory data analysis of Covid-19 cases in India is carried out. Data namely number of cases, testing done, Case Fatality ratio, Number of deaths, change in visits stringency index and measures taken by the government is used for modelling and visual exploratory data analysis.

Catecholamines are physiological regulators of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism during stress, but their chronic influence on metabolic changes in obese patients is still not clarified. The present study aimed to establish the associations between the catecholamine metabolites and metabolic syndrome (MS) components in obese women as well as to reveal the possible hidden subgroups of patients through hierarchical cluster analysis and principal component analysis. The 24-h urine excretion of metanephrine and normetanephrine was investigated in 150 obese women (54 non diabetic without MS, 70 non-diabetic with MS and 26 with type 2 diabetes). The interrelations between carbohydrate disturbances, metabolic syndrome components and stress response hormones were studied. Exploratory data analysis was used to determine different patterns of similarities among the patients. Normetanephrine concentrations were significantly increased in postmenopausal patients and in women with morbid obesity, type 2 diabetes, and hypertension but not with prediabetes. Both metanephrine and normetanephrine levels were positively associated with glucose concentrations one hour after glucose load irrespectively of the insulin levels. The exploratory data analysis showed different risk subgroups among the investigated obese women. The development of predictive tools that include not only traditional metabolic risk factors, but also markers of stress response systems might help for specific risk estimation in obesity patients.
