• Title: Mortality Rates of US Counties: Are they Reliable and Predictable?
• Authors: Robert L. Obenchain and S. Stanley Young
• Abstract summary: We find that two mortality rates for 2,812 US Counties have remarkably little in common. For predictive modeling, we use a single "compromise" measure of mortality that has several advantages.

• Abstract: We examine US County-level observational data on Lung Cancer mortality rates in 2012 and overall Circulatory Respiratory mortality rates in 2016 as well as their "Top Ten" potential causes from Federal or State sources. We find that these two mortality rates for 2,812 US Counties have remarkably little in common. Thus, for predictive modeling, we use a single "compromise" measure of mortality that has several advantages. The vast majority of our new findings have simple implications that we illustrate graphically.

  We employ an epidemic model that incorporates a large, mobility-informed physical contact network as well as the distribution of misinformed individuals across counties derived from social media data. We present a worst-case scenario in which a heavily misinformed population would result in an additional 14% of the U.S. population becoming infected over the course of the COVID-19 epidemic.

Using different machine learning classification algorithms we investigated how the decrease or increase in death ratio for the counties in the US West Coast correlates with the input parameters.
