Before revision: When should restrictive measures be taken to contain the COVID-19 pandemic explosion? An important role for interpreting the pandemic data in a fully rational manner, and thus proactively supporting the political decision makers, is played by signal processing tools. In this paper, we exploit quickest-detection theory applied to pandemic time-series to predict the explosion of COVID-19 infection on a large scale.
After revision: This paper develops an easily-implementable version of Page's CUSUM quickest-detection theory applied to pandemic time-series to predict the explosion of COVID-19 infection on a large scale.
