Abstract

Here, the multifractal behavior SARS-CoV2 COVID-19 pandemic daily and death cases is investigated through the so-called Wavelet Transform Modulus Maxima lines (WTMM) method, data of daily and death cases available via the World Health Organization (WHO) database of Algeria, Russia, USA and Italy is analyzed. The obtained results show the multifractal behavior of the COVID-19 pandemic spread data with different spectra of singularities.

    About SciScore

    SciScore is an automated tool that is designed to assist expert reviewers by finding and presenting formulaic information scattered throughout a paper in a standard, easy to digest format. SciScore checks for the presence and correctness of RRIDs (research resource identifiers), and for rigor criteria such as sex and investigator blinding. For details on the theoretical underpinning of rigor criteria and the tools shown here, including references cited, please follow this link.
