The pandemic due to the SARS-CoV-2 virus impacted the entire world in different waves. An important question that arise after witnessing the first and second waves of COVID-19 is - Will the third wave also arrive and if yes, then when. Various types of methodologies are being used to explore the arrival of third wave. A statistical methodology based on the fitting of mixture of Gaussian distributions is explored in this paper and the aim is to forecast the third wave using the data on the first two waves of pandemic. Utilizing the data of different countries that are already facing the third wave, modelling of their daily cases data and predicting the impact and timeline for the third wave in India is attempted in this paper. The Gaussian mixture model based on algorithm for clustering is used to estimate the parameters.

Abstract:Mixed Bayesian networks are probabilistic models associated with a graphical representation, where the graph is directed and the random variables are discrete or continuous. We propose a comprehensive method for estimating the density functions of continuous variables, using a graph structure and a set of samples. The principle of the method is to learn the shape of densities from a sample of continuous variables. The densities are approximated by a mixture of Gaussian distributions. The estimation algorithm is a stochastic version of the Expectation Maximization algorithm (Stochastic EM algorithm). The inference algorithm corresponding to our model is a variant of junction three method, adapted to our specific case. The approach is illustrated by a simulated example from the domain of pharmacokinetics. Tests show that the true distributions seem sufficiently fitted for practical application.
