Abstract
The study presented here considers the analysis of a medical dataset for the identification of the stage of onset of COVID-19 coronavirus. These data, presented in previous work by the authors, have been subjected to extensive analysis and additional calculations. The data were obtained by analyzing blood samples of infected individuals at 1, 3, and 6 months after COVID-19 infection. Results were obtained from FTIR spectrometry experiments. The results indicate a very effective ability to identify the different states of infection, and between 1 and 6 months even perfect. Specific spectrometry wavelength ranges can also be distinguished as medical markers.
Keywords: COVID-19, FTIR, Fourier Transform Infrared spectrometry, feature selection, computer aided medical diagnosis
