Fresh Prediction and Estimate for June 2020 in India

Fresh Prediction and Estimate for June 2020 in India

 

Dr Himanshu Shekhar

 

Introduction: The variation in viewer’s opinion is an asset for the blog. When exponential fit is projected and a large number of confirmed cases are numerically arrived at, viewers ask for a turnaround prediction. When a turnaround is predicted based on normal distribution curve, another set of viewer contradicts the views and opine that such fast turnaround is not possible. However, the mathematical exercise continues and in this connection, data for India in the first week of June is analysed and a fresh prediction based on cumulative confirmed cases is made for the entire month. Same prediction is already projected on 03.06.2020, but now it is made more lucid for comparison. The post address for ready reference is given below.

Prediction: Exponential variation is assumed for the cumulative confirmed cases with 14.03.2020 as reference date. The initial value or pre-exponential term is taken as 5370 for the prediction and the activation term is taken as 0.045. The curve for cumulative as well as daily confirmed cases are generated and reproduced below for viewers to ascertain themselves.

Both cumulative and daily confirmed cases are plotted on different axis and data for first 7 days of June 2020 is also superimposed. The exact numerical values are given in the figure for actual comparison with the achieved numbers. Viewers are welcomes to comment on variation as time progresses. The achievement of 2.0 lakh on 03.06.2020 is predicted by the fresh prediction of post on 21.05.2020, also. The same is confirmed again on post of 03.06.2020. URL Address of both the post is given below.

The data is summarized in a table to finalize certain dubious milestones, which should not be achieved in reality but which is calculated from the current numerical exercise. As per this, the cumulative and daily confirmed cases are mentioned against dates for viewers to monitor, themselves. Any deviation may be pointed out at proper time.

Conclusion: Honouring sentiment of viewers is my asset. For mathematics lovers, this is the exponential variation of confirmed cases, which is not showing any turnaround and has, for India, prediction of 3.0 lakh total confirmed cases on 12.06.2020 and 4.0 lakh total confirmed cases on 18.06.2020. Hopefully, it should not be achieved but mathematics says so.

  1. This is the time we have to be very very careful. It is really scary.Hope your prediction goes wrong.

    1. Respected sir,

      Mathematics is giving this type of variation. I wanted to be more clear this time, so that viewers can check themselves. It seems scary, but control is not practically seen. Somehow, Delhi and Mumbai can only do something to control it. Regards.

  2. We find the analysis useful and prediction are coming true.God bless.

    1. Thanks for appreciation, but I strongly pray for failure of such prediction of exponential rise. Hope that any of my normal distribution simulation becomes true.
