Forecasting Covid-19 Deaths Cases in Indonesia

Abstract

In this study, the ANN approach was applied to analyze COVID-19 deaths in Indonesia. The employed data covers the period1 January 2020 to 20 April 2021 and the out-of-sample period ranges over the period 21 April to 31 August 2021. The residuals and forecast evaluation criteria (Error, MSE and MAE) of the applied model indicate that the model is quite stable. The results of the study indicate that daily COVID-19 mortality cases in Indonesia are likely to continue to rise and finally hover around an equilibrium case volume of about 408 deaths per day over the out-of-sample period. Therefore there is need for the government of Indonesia to ensure adherence to safety guidelines while continuing to create awareness about the COVID-19 pandemic.
