COVID-19 Case Forecasting with LSTM

Forecasts daily case counts with LSTM against classical baselines

1-2 weeks build

Overview

Pulls daily case series from Our World in Data, smooths reporting artefacts, and trains an LSTM to forecast the next one to two weeks. A naive baseline and ARIMA are fitted on the same windows, and the report compares them with MAE and RMSE using walk-forward validation rather than a random split.

What makes it stand up

  • 01Case series from the public Our World in Data COVID-19 dataset
  • 02Seven-day smoothing to remove weekend reporting dips
  • 03LSTM compared with naive and ARIMA baselines
  • 04Walk-forward validation with MAE and RMSE per horizon
  • 05Country selector and forecast bands in a Streamlit dashboard

Module breakdown

  1. 01

    Data ingestion

    Download, country filtering and date alignment.

  2. 02

    Preprocessing

    Smoothing, scaling and sliding-window sequences.

  3. 03

    Baselines

    Naive persistence and ARIMA fitted per country.

  4. 04

    LSTM model

    Stacked LSTM with early stopping and multi-step output.

  5. 05

    Dashboard

    Streamlit charts of history, forecast and error.

After this, you will be able to

  • Explain how an LSTM carries information across time steps
  • Defend walk-forward validation over a random split
  • Demo forecasts for a country chosen by the examiner
