讲座主要内容

We forecast the daily confirmed new cases of the COVID-19 pandemic in major European countries using Transfer Learning (TL) and an model averaging (MA) approach. The TL-MA outperforms other single transfer learning models and provides accurate and stable forecasts. The forecasting is especially accurate for those countries which have implemented inadequate containment measures. For those countries which have adopted effective containment measures at earlier stages, all forecasting models lose certain a level of accuracy.
