In this section, through the actual COVID-19 data from Hubei province, the PSO algorithm is utilized to estimate the parameters of the proposed SEIR model to fit the real situation. The initial values setting of SEIR model is presented in Table 4 , where N is the total population of Hubei affected by the COVID-19 epidemic in January 24th, 2020, and E is calculated based on the number of confirmed patients. Moreover, the control measures for containing the Error ×10 4 Fig. 3 The error convergence curve of PSO algorithm in the inhibition stage outbreak are more and more powerful; thus, the system parameter should be time varying variables. ./cache/cord-291786-66c8xta0.txt ./txt/cord-291786-66c8xta0.txt
