Drexel MPH students Deiriai
Myers, Jenna Carcione, Octavio Alanis and Sarah Weinbrom, AKA the “COVID
Coders” will present their work, which was their submission for
this year’s SAS Curiosity Cup, an international data science competition. Using
publicly available data from the CDC’s ensemble model for COVID-19 prediction,
the students compared expected cases to what was observed to identify times
when the ensemble model under- or over-estimated COVID-19 cases.
