COVID-19 Modeling

• The Math Sciences Team at IHME has been working on COVID-19 modeling. We are building the CurveFit tool that estimates and forecasts deaths using all available data. A recent paper (including the full technical appendix) is available here and posted on Medrxiv. An article describing this work is available in the A&S Newsletter.
