Data overview

All data are collected in accordance with the paper procedure from the John-Hopkins University website. The raw data is available here.

Datasets

Methods and Analysis

Selection criteria

30 countries are selected for each dataset, based on one of the two selection critera, respectively:

  • The countries with the highest number of cases on the 4th of April 2020
  • The countries where cases occured first

Agglomerative Clustering

Based on these datasets and selected countries, an agglomerative clustering algorithm is applied.

Extension

Based on the outcome of the clustering algorithm, the countries are embedded into a world map. Their cluster membership is made visually available within the context of all countries.
