Numerical treatment of Ebola virus model using artificial neural networks
摘要
The Ebola virus disease (EVD) poses a significant threat to public health due to its rapid transmission and high mortality rate. Accurate modelling for the comprehension of transmission of this malady is essential for planning effective containment and its outcome strategies. In this work, we analyse a four-dimensional compartmental model (susceptible, infectious, deceased, recovered) of EVD to understand its epidemiological behaviour. To enhance the predictive power and accuracy of the model, artificial intelligence (AI) technique, a specifically supervised neural network using Levenberg–Marquardt backpropagation recurrent neural network (L-MBRNN), is applied. Reference solutions are obtained using Runge–Kutta method. The AI-based approach is validated by comparing with numerical solutions, statistical analysis and absolute error assessment to confirm the reliability and precision of the applied method. This fusion of biological modelling and machine learning provides a robust framework for investigating the dynamics of Ebola.
