Popis: The study captures the COVID-19 lifecycle in different states of India using predictive analytics Drawing upon the seminal susceptible–infected–removed (SIR) model of capturing the spread of viral diseases, this study models the spread of COVID-19 in the ten most infected states of India (as on 30 April 2020) Using publicly available state-wise time series data of COVID-19 patients during the period 1–30 April 2020, the study uses the forecasting technique of auto-regressive integrated moving averages (ARIMA) to predict the likely population susceptible to COVID-19 in each state Thereafter, based on the SIR model, predictive modelling of state-wise COVID-19 data is carried out to determine: (a) the predictive accuracy;(b) the likely number of days it would take for the disease to reach the peak number of infections in a state;(c) the likely number of infections at the peak;and (d) the state-wise end date The SIR model is implemented by running Python 3 7 4 on Jupyter Notebook and using the package Matplotlib 3 2 1 for visualization The study offers rich insights for policymakers as well as common citizens © 2020 International Management Institute, New Delhi
