ARIMA and ARIMA-ERNN models for prediction of pertussis incidence in mainland China from 2004 to 2021

To compare an autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model with a model that combines ARIMA with the Elman recurrent neural network (ARIMA-ERNN) in predicting the incidence of pertussis in mainland China. Background: The incidence of pertussis has increased rapidly in mainland China since 2016, making the disease an increasing public health threat.
