Abstract

In this thesis, we analyze the impact of coronavirus disease Covid-19 on infections and deaths across five Central European countries, including Croatia. Our datasets include Daily Infection Rate (DIR), Daily Death Rate (DDR), Excess Mortality Rate (EMR), and vaccination rates. Statistical methods employed include simple linear regression and moving average analysis. We interpret our results using p-values and Pearson correlation coefficients, focusing on correlations between DIR-DDR and DDR-EMR datasets. Our findings are statistically significant and provide crucial insights on the disease's impact, especially regarding eF, vaccination rates and the influence of Covid-19 deaths on overall mortality.

Abstract (english)

U ovom diplomskom radu analiziramo utjecaj koronavirusne bolesti Covid-19 na infekcije i smrtnost u pet srednjoeuropskih zemalja, uključujući i Hrvatsku. Naši skupovi podataka uključuju dnevnu stopu zaraze (DIR), dnevnu stopu smrtnosti (DDR), prekomjernu stopu smrtnosti (EMR) i stope cijepljenja. Statističke metode koje se koriste uključuju jednostavnu linearnu regresiju i analizu pomičnog prosjeka. Naše rezultate tumačimo pomoću p-vrijednosti i Pearsonovih koeficijenata korelacije, fokusirajući se na korelacije između skupova podataka DIR-DDR i DDR-EMR. Naši nalazi su statistički značajni i daju ključne uvide u utjecaj bolesti, posebno u pogledu eF, stope cijepljenja i utjecaja smrti od Covid-19 na ukupnu smrtnost.
