Spatial modelling of COVID-19 incident cases using Richards' curve: an application to the Italian regions
Marco Mingione, Pierfrancesco Alaimo Di Loro, Alessio Farcomeni +4
We introduce an extended generalised logistic growth model for discrete outcomes, in which a network structure can be specified to deal with spatial dependence and time dependence…
Nowcasting COVID-19 incidence indicators during the Italian first outbreak
Pierfrancesco Alaimo Di Loro, Fabio Divino, Alessio Farcomeni +4
A novel parametric regression model is proposed to fit incidence data typically collected during epidemics. The proposal is motivated by real-time monitoring and short-term forecas…
An ensemble approach to short-term forecast of COVID-19 intensive care occupancy in Italian Regions
Alessio Farcomeni, Antonello Maruotti, Fabio Divino +2
The availability of intensive care beds during the Covid-19 epidemic is crucial to guarantee the best possible treatment to severely affected patients. In this work we show a simpl…
A penalized approach to the bivariate logistic regression model for the association between ordinal responses
Marco Enea, Gianfranco Lovison
Bivariate ordered logistic models (BOLMs) are appealing to jointly model the marginal distribution of two ordered responses and their association, given a set of covariates. When t…
