Chaos Theory of 0-1 Test and Logistic Map in New Confirmed COVID-19 Cases
Abstract
This study aims to forecast the new number of positive cases of COVID-19 using the logistic map, where the presence of chaos is determined using the 0-1 Test. There are a small number of investigations on chaos utilizing the 0-1 Test and logistic map in the literature. This study provides a straightforward technique of forecasting and a current way of determining chaos. Information on new confirmed COVID-19 cases and population of ten countries involving China, Vietnam, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, New Zealand, India, USA, Brazil, and Mexico for six months from January 20 to June 15, 2020, are selected as samples. The logistic map runs through three stages: data training, forecasting, and validation using the Mean Absolute Error method (MAE). The data training procedure is critical for determining the best growth rate, r, for the logistic map. In chaotic investigations of the 0-1 Test, there appears to be an inverse expectation toward a logistic map. The 0-1 Test in the data of new confirmed COVID-19 cases in all the selected countries reveals the presence of non-chaotic. This contrasts with the existence of chaos in the logistic map forecasts for the USA, Brazil, and Mexico. Regardless, the logistic map was found to be capable of forecasting new COVID-19 positive cases with low error instances. Beginning in the middle of May 2020, new COVID-19 positive cases are forecasted to be on the rise in the USA, Brazil, and Mexico.
