Gradient-based grey wolf optimizer with Gaussian walk: Application in modelling and prediction of the COVID-19 pandemic

作者:

Highlights:

• We propose a Gradient-based Grey Wolf Optimizer for complex optimization problems.

• We use Gaussian walk and Lévy flight that improve the exploration ability of GGWO.

• We apply GGWO on several benchmarks to show its efficiency.

• We apply GGWO for predicting the COVID-19 pandemic in the US.

• We predicted the peak of infected, recovered, ICU admitted, and death cases.
