Employing data mining techniques to classify Covid-19 pandemic

Recently, researchers and clinicians have been searching for new technologies to slow down or stop COVID-19 pandemic. The utility of Data Mining (DM) algorithms to suggests new opportunities to combat the spread of the new Coronavirus. This paper suggests a comparative study on data mining approaches to predict COVID19. We used common classification algorithms like the Support Vector Machines, Random Forest, Logistic Regression, K-Nearest Neighbor and Artificial Neural Network with Python simulation to compare it in metrics accuracy, recall, precision and AUC; results showed that Random Forest model had a 98.43% accuracy – which is a higher accuracy than many other previous studies known COVID-19 data mining algorithms.
