Abstract

Recently, COVID-19 (coronavirus) has been a huge influence on the socio and economic field. COVID-19 cases are seriously increasing day-day and also don't identified proper vaccine for COVID-19. Hence, COVID-19 is fast spreading virus and it causes more deaths. In order to address this, the work has proposed a machine learning (ML) scheme for the prediction of COVID-19 positive, negative, and deceased instances. Initially, the data is pre-processed by eliminating redundant and missing values. Then, the features are selected using hybrid grey assisted whale optimization algorithm (H-GAWOA). Finally, the classifier ANFIS (adaptive network-based fuzzy inference systems) is used for investigating the confirmed, survival and death rate of COVID-19. The performance is analysed on John Hopkins University dataset and the performances like MSE, RMSE, MAPE, and are measured. In all the comparisons, the MSE value is very less for the proposed model. Particularly, in the deceased cases prediction, the MSE value is 0.00 for the proposed H-GAWOA-ANFIS. Finally, it is proved that the suggested model is able to generate the better results when contrast to the other approaches.
