Introduction Often economic and other Machine Learning data are of different units or sizes making either estimation, interpretation or visualization difficult. The solution to these issues can be handled if the data can be transformed to unitless or data of similar magnitude. When the need to transform thus arises, then one finds it difficult to get handy function to achieve that. In this blog, I share with you a function data_transform from Dyn4cast package that can easily transform your data.

Introduction In statistics, Mallows's Cp, named for Colin Lingwood Mallows, an English statistician, is used to assess the fit of a regression model that has been estimated using ordinary least squares. Models with a Mallows' Cp value near P+1 (i.e. the number of explanatory variables + 1) have a low bias. If every potential model has a high value for Mallows' Cp, this indicates that some important predictor variables are likely missing from each model.

Introduction In the 933 days since the first COVID-19 case was reported on February 29, 2020 in Nigeria, about 267,511 cases have been recorded with 1.18% fatalities. Except for Kogi State which Government refused monitoring laboratories to be setup in her health facilities for confirming and managing COVID-19, cases have been recorded on regular basis in the other 35 states and Abuja, the Federal Capital. However, the frequency of cases vary from state to state.
