A note on Covid-19 Statistics, Strange trend and Forecasting of Total Cases in the most Infected African Countries: An ARIMA and Fuzzy Time Series Approaches

Abstract

The current event in the world is corona-virus; the spread of this virus can put all countries in situation of incapacity of how manage and face. This article focused on the class of ARIMA models and Fuzzy Time Series. The techniques are applied to trajectory Corona virus on three African countries: Algeria, Egypt and South Africa over the period (2020-02-15 /2020-03-19). Although the hyper stochastic of this pandemic, it is seen that ARIMA models fits well the trajectory of Covid-19. We predict a continuous trend of virus spreading in next days, a fact that alert the governments of theses countries and the whole African countries for further strengthen prevention and intervention policies to combat this epidemic
