Abstract

The occurrence of a major epidemic is a catastrophic event that may occur at any time in the development of human society. It is uncertain and unavoidable. If human beings can predict the occurrence and epidemic time of major diseases, people will take the initiative in the prevention and control of major diseases, make response plans in advance, calmly face the sudden occurrence of major epidemics, so as to reduce the run on medical resources and short-term shortage, reduce the death of patients, maintain social peace, and maintain the stable development of economy and society. The grey system theory, which was founded by Chinese scholar Deng Julong in the 1980s, is a new method to study the few data, poor information and uncertain events. The purpose: to introduce the grey theory into the prediction of the occurrence and epidemic time of major epidemics, and to find a new scientific, simple and fast method to predict the occurrence and epidemic time of major epidemics. Research methods: Using the time of occurrence and epidemic of major epidemics in China recorded in the Chinese Plague Chronicles and other books in history, the occurrence and epidemic time numbers of major epidemics (plagues) were extracted from the three periods A, B and C, and the original data sequence was formed through sequential arrangement. Then, grey modeling is carried out with the modeling steps of GM(1,1) and the error and accuracy of the model are checked. Research results: The occurrence and epidemic times of major epidemics in periods A, B and C were selected, and the GM(1.1) grey modeling was carried out on the obtained data in the order of year number, and the corresponding grey prediction models of periods A, B and C were obtained respectively: ; and (see the text for details of the models), the simulation errors of the three models were tested, and the relevant parameters all reached the level of first-class qualified models, and the simulation accuracy was 99.80%, 99.93% and 99.98%, respectively, reaching the qualified level. The prediction and verification of the occurrence and epidemic time of the n+1 major epidemic in the period of A and B were carried out respectively, and the accuracy rate reached 99.88% and 99.91%, both of which achieved satisfactory results.
