Background: The forecasting of Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19) dynamics is a centrepiece in evidence-based disease management. Numerous approaches that use mathematical modelling have been used to predict the outcome of the pandemic, including data-driven models, empirical and hybrid models. This study was aimed at prediction of COVID-19 evolution in India using a model based on autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA). Material and Methods: Real-time Indian data of cumulative cases and deaths of COVID-19 was retrieved from the Johns Hopkins dashboard. The dataset from 11 March 2020 to 25 June 2020 (n = 107 time points) was used to fit the autoregressive integrated moving average model. The model with minimum Akaike Information Criteria was used for forecasting. The predicted root mean square error (PredRMSE) and base root mean square error (BaseRMSE) were used to validate the model. Results: The ARIMA (1,3,2) and ARIMA (3,3,1) model fit best for cumulative cases and deaths, respectively, with minimum Akaike Information Criteria. The prediction of cumulative cases and deaths for next 10 days from 26 June 2020 to 5 July 2020 showed a trend toward continuous increment. The PredRMSE and BaseRMSE of ARIMA (1,3,2) model were 21,137 and 166,330, respectively. Similarly, PredRMSE and BaseRMSE of ARIMA (3,3,1) model were 668.7 and 5,431, respectively. Conclusion: It is proposed that data on COVID-19 be collected continuously, and that forecasting continue in real time. The COVID-19 forecast assist government in resource optimisation and evidence-based decision making for a subsequent state of affairs.

Abstract The forecasting of Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19) dynamics is a centerpiece in evidence based disease management. Numerous approaches that use mathematical modeling have been used to predict the outcome of the pandemic, including data driven models, empirical and hybrid models. This study was aimed at prediction COVID-19 evolution in India using a model based on autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA). Retrieving real time data from the Johns Hopkins dashboard from 11 Mar 2020 to 25 Jun 2020 (N = 107 time points) to fit the model. The ARIMA (1,3,2) and ARIMA (3,3,1) model fit best for cumulative cases and deaths respectively with minimum Akaike Informaton Criteria. The prediction of cumulative cases and deaths for next 10 days from 26 Jun 2020 to 05 Jul 2020 showed a trend toward continuous increment. The predicted root mean square error (PredRMSE) and base root mean square error (BaseRMSE) of ARIMA(1,3,2) model was 21137 and 166330 respectively. Similarly, PredRMSE and BaseRMSE of ARIMA(3,3,1) model was 668.7 and 5431 respectively. We propose that data on COVID-19 be collected continuously, and that forecasting continue in real time. The COVID-19 forecast assist government in resource optimization and evidence based decision making for a subsequent state of affairs.

Background/aims The stochastic arrival of patients at hospital emergency departments complicates their management. More than 50% of a hospital's emergency department tends to operate beyond its normal capacity and eventually fails to deliver high-quality care. To address this concern, much research has been carried out using yearly, monthly and weekly time-series forecasting. This article discusses the use of hourly time-series forecasting to help improve emergency department management by predicting the arrival of future patients. Methods Emergency department admission data from January 2014 to August 2017 was retrieved from a hospital in Iowa. The auto-regressive integrated moving average (ARIMA), Holt–Winters, TBATS, and neural network methods were implemented and compared as forecasters of hourly patient arrivals. Results The auto-regressive integrated moving average (3,0,0) (2,1,0) was selected as the best fit model, with minimum Akaike information criterion and Schwartz Bayesian criterion. The model was stationary and qualified under the Box–Ljung correlation test and the Jarque–Bera test for normality. The mean error and root mean square error were selected as performance measures. A mean error of 1.001 and a root mean square error of 1.55 were obtained. Conclusions The auto-regressive integrated moving average can be used to provide hourly forecasts for emergency department arrivals and can be implemented as a decision support system to aid staff when scheduling and adjusting emergency department arrivals.

In many applications of airborne visual techniques for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), lightweight sensors and efficient visual positioning and tracking algorithms are essential in a GNSS-denied environment. Meanwhile, many tasks require the ability of recognition, localization, avoiding, or flying pass through these dynamic obstacles. In this paper, for a small UAV equipped with a lightweight monocular sensor, a single-frame parallel-features positioning method (SPPM) is proposed and verified for a real-time dynamic target tracking and ingressing problem. The solution is featured with systematic modeling of the geometric characteristics of moving targets, and the introduction of numeric iteration algorithms to estimate the geometric center of moving targets. The geometric constraint relationships of the target feature points are modeled as non-linear equations for scale estimation. Experiments show that the root mean square error percentage of static target tracking is less than 1.03% and the root mean square error of dynamic target tracking is less than 7.92 cm. Comprehensive indoor flight experiments are conducted to show the real-time convergence of the algorithm, the effectiveness of the solution in locating and tracking a moving target, and the excellent robustness to measurement noises.

Many applications including power trading and planning require the accurate estimation of solar power in real time. As the power output of the solar panels degrades over the time period, so its real-time estimation is tough without the degradation parameter. In the proposed method, the effect of degradation in terms of performance ratio is incorporated along with other meteorological parameters. The degradation is calculated in real time using the clustering-based technique without physical inspection on site. Initially, the power is estimated using Support Vector Regression (SVR) model with the meteorological parameters. The estimation is further fine-tuned in sync with the degradation rate. The model is validated on the real data (Meteorological parameters and Solar power) procured from the solar plant. After refinement, the estimation results show significant improvement in terms of statistical measures. Now, the estimation accuracy in terms of coefficient of determination R2 is 92% and the error metrics normalized root mean square error (NMRSE), mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), root mean square error (RMSE) are 7.13, 5.92 and 14.54, respectively.

A study was conducted on time-series data on rice production in India. Box-Jenkins Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) time-series process was considered for predicting country's rice production using the time series data from 1950–51 to 2017–18. Data from 1950–51 to 2014–15 were used for model development and three years data from 2015–16 and 2017–18 were kept for validation The augmented Dicky Fuller test was applied to test stationarity in data set. Root mean square error. Based on ACF and PACF, the model was defined and tested for its suitability. Akaike information criterion and Bayesian information criterion were used to judge the suitability of the model to be fitted. The performance of the fitted model was examined using mean absolute error, mean percent forecast error, root mean square error and Theil's inequality coefficients. IMA (0, 1, 1) model performed well for forecasting purposes. The percent prediction error for the last three years i.e. from 2015–16 and 2017–18, was below 3%. The predicted values along with their standard errors up to the year 2099, were also obtained using the model.

The overarching goal was to resolve a major barrier to real-life prosthesis usability—the rapid degradation of prosthesis control systems, which require frequent recalibrations. Specifically, we sought to develop and test a motor decoder that provides (1) highly accurate, real-time movement response, and (2) unprecedented adaptability to dynamic changes in the amputee’s biological state, thereby supporting long-term integrity of control performance with few recalibrations. To achieve that, an adaptive motor decoder was designed to auto-switch between algorithms in real-time. The decoder detects the initial aggregate motoneuron spiking activity from the motor pool, then engages the optimal parameter settings for decoding the motoneuron spiking activity in that particular state. “Clear-box” testing of decoder performance under varied physiological conditions and post-amputation complications was conducted by comparing the movement output of a simulated prosthetic hand as driven by the decoded signal vs. as driven by the actual signal. Pearson’s correlation coefficient and Normalized Root Mean Square Error were used to quantify the accuracy of the decoder’s output. Our results show that the decoder algorithm extracted the features of the intended movement and drove the simulated prosthetic hand accurately with real-time performance (<10 ms) (Pearson’s correlation coefficient >0.98 to >0.99 and Normalized Root Mean Square Error <13–5%). Further, the decoder robustly decoded the spiking activity of multi-speed inputs, inputs generated from reversed motoneuron recruitment, and inputs reflecting substantial biological heterogeneity of motoneuron properties, also in real-time. As the amputee’s neuromodulatory state changes throughout the day and the electrical properties and ratio of slower vs. faster motoneurons shift over time post-amputation, the motor decoder presented here adapts to such changes in real-time and is thus expected to greatly enhance and extend the usability of prostheses.

This research aims to evaluate two econometric models to forecast imports and exports for the financial year (FY) 2020. For this purpose, we used the annual exports and imports data of Pakistan from FY2002 to FY2019. Thus, in this regard, we employed, and compared the results of two econometrics models such as Box Jenkins or Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA), and Auto-Regressive (AR) with seasonal dummies. For examining the precision of forecasting, we employed mean absolute error and root mean square error approaches. The findings of Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and Mean Absolute Error (MAE) reveal that the ARIMA or Box Jenkins approach provides better accuracy of the forecast for the exports as compared to the AR model with dummies. However, Auto-Regressive (AR) model has demonstrated more precision for the imports as compared to the Box Jenkins model. Hence, the projected forecasting for the growth of export is 1.87% for the FY2020 and projected forecasting for the import demonstrates a negative variation of -1.61% for the FY2020. The findings of the undertaken study recommend the policymakers of Pakistan to take corrective measures to increase exports and to prevent the country from the trade deficit. The policymakers of Pakistan should give more incentives to the exporters and decrease the cost of doing business to be more competitive than the regional economies such as India, Bangladesh, and China.

Abstract. Meteosat Second Generation (MSG) satellite images acquired every 15 min during daytime are currently processed by the Heliosat-2 method every night to generate the HelioClim-3 (HC3) database of the surface solar irradiation for the day before. A new service is proposed based on version 4 of HC3 (HC3v4) that offers real-time and forecasted irradiation for horizons up to a few hours. The service is based on a local persistence of the clear-sky index. Its results were compared to coincident high quality 15 min global irradiations measured in fourteen stations belonging to the Baseline Surface Radiation Network (BSRN). For forecasts for a temporal horizon of 15 min ahead, the relative bias and root mean square error (RMSE) range respectively from 0 to 2 %, and 20 to 23 % for most stations. The correlation coefficient ranges from 0.94 to 0.95. These performances are similar to HC3v4 for the same stations. Expectedly, the quality of the forecasts degrades as the temporal horizon increases. For 1 h ahead forecasts of 15 min irradiation, the relative bias, root mean square error (RMSE) and correlation coefficient range respectively from −3 to 1 %, 30 to 37 %, and 0.90 to 0.91.
