abstract = "COVID-19 declared as a global pandemic by WHO, has
emerged as the most aggressive disease, impacting more
than 90percent countries of the world. The virus
started from a single human being in China, is now
increasing globally at a rate of 3percent to 5percent
daily and has become a never ending process. Some
studies even predict that the virus will stay with us
forever. India being the second most populous country
of the world, is also not saved, and the virus is
spreading as a community level transmitter. Therefore,
it become really important to analyse the possible
impact of COVID-19 in India and forecast how it will
behave in the days to come. In present work, prediction
models based on genetic programming (GP) have been
developed for confirmed cases (CC) and death cases (DC)
across three most affected states namely Maharashtra,
Gujarat and Delhi as well as whole India. The proposed
prediction models are presented using explicit formula,
and impotence of prediction variables are studied.
Here, statistical parameters and metrics have been used
for evaluated and validate the evolved models. From the
results, it has been found that the proposed GEP-based
models use simple linkage functions and are highly
reliable for time series prediction of COVID-19 cases
in India",
