Pandemic projections SEIQR model

The SEIQR model simulates the spread of COVID-19 in India.

COVID-19 has already infected millions of people across the globe and has posed an enormous challenge, impacting economies, institutions, businesses and personal lifestyles.

The model proposed in this white paper is a novel Susceptible - Exposed - Infectious - Quarantined - Recovered (SEIQR) model that derives its reference from the classic deterministic Susceptible - Exposed - Infectious - Recovered (SEIR) compartmental model.

The SEIQR model factors in active learning of assumed parameters to incorporate the impact of policy interventions (like lockdown) and provides a realistic forecast. While this model can be used to forecast the lifecycle of any pandemic, this white paper is focused on modeling the COVID-19 spread and recovery.
