Forecasting the epidemiological trends of COVID-19 prevalence and mortality using the advanced α-Sutte Indicator.

abstract：:Spatial-temporal patterns of measles incidence reflect the spatial distribution of human hosts. The heterogeneous spatial distribution of communities has been shown to introduce spatially dependent temporal lags in the timing of measles incidence. Incidence patterns reflect internal dynamics within a community and cou...
