Modelling the Survival to the COVID-19 en México
Abstract
This investigation analyses the excess of mortality of people infected by the virus SARS-CoV-2 in México, which causes the disease known as COVID-19, and the underlying increase in the fatality rate by means of a non-parametric survival model. An exploratory data analysis is carried out using the official information referred to the individual characteristics of those who have presented the symptoms and have passed away. Besides, the survival probability is obtained by means of Kaplan-Meier estimates. The process is controlled for comorbidities to identify the lack of early care and the excess of the most common comorbidities in Mexico as factors responsible for the excess of mortality and the high fatality rate.
