METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PREDICTING A NUMBER OF CONFIRMED CASES OF AN INFECTIOUS DISEASE, APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

摘要

A method and device for predicting a number of confirmed cases of an infectious disease, an apparatus, and a storage medium. The method includes obtaining a number of historical confirmed cases corresponding to each of multiple historical time periods adjacent to a time period to be predicted, adding a number of historical confirmed cases corresponding to a current historical time period with numbers of historical confirmed cases corresponding to previous target historical time periods to determine a historical cumulative number corresponding to each current historical time period, determining a predicted cumulative number corresponding to the time period to be predicted based on the historical cumulative number corresponding to each current historical time period, and determining a differential value between the predicted cumulative number corresponding to the time period to be predicted and a historical cumulative number corresponding to current target historical time period adjacent to the time period to be predicted, and taking the differential value as a predicted confirmed number of the time period to be predicted.
