Predictive Modeling of County-level Contributing Factors to COVID-19 Propagation in the United States
Abstract: This work presents a methodology to systematically examine and quantify the relationship between predictors and the COVID-19 cases at county level. The main objective is to extract predictors that characterize different aspects of a county from publicly available data and investigate the relevance between the predictors and the COVID-19 cases so that we can predict the propagation of COVID-19 in the near future. For this purpose, we extract predictors in social economy, health, demography and mobility and use Pearson correlation coefficient and lasso regularization model to find non-redundant predictors that are highly correlated to COVID-19 cases. With these predictors, we formulate a fixed-effect regression model at county level to quantify the relationship. The results clearly show that the significant predictors selected and the model can capture the relationship well.
