| Popis: | COVID-19, CoronaVirus Disease – 2019, belongs to the genus of Coronaviridae. COVID-19 is no longer pandemic but rather endemic with the number of deaths around the world of more than 3,166,516 cases. This reality has placed a massive burden on limited healthcare systems. Thus, many researchers try to develop a prediction model to further understand this phenomenon. One of the recent methods used is machine learning models that learn from the historical data and make predictions about the events. These data mining techniques have been used to predict the number of confirmed cases of COVID-19. This paper investigated the variability of the effect size on the correlation performance of machine learning models in predicting confirmed cases of COVID-19 using meta-analysis. It explored the correlation between actual and predicted COVID-19 cases from different Neural Network machine learning models by means of estimated variance, chi-square heterogeneity (Q), heterogeneity index (I2) and random effect model. The results gave a good summary effect of 95% confidence interval. Based on chi-square heterogeneity (Q) and heterogeneity index (I2), it was found that the correlations were heterogeneous among the studies. The 95% confidence interval of effect summary also supported the difference in correlation between actual and predicted number of confirmed COVID-19 cases among the studies. There was no evidence of publication bias based on funnel plot and Egger and Begg’s test. Hence, findings from this study provide evidence of good prediction performance from the Neural Network model based on a combination of studies that can later serve in the prediction of COVID-19 confirmed cases. |
