This paper aims to generate a universal well-fitted mathematical model to aid global representation of the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) disease. The model aims to identify the importance of the measures to be taken in order to stop the spread of the virus. It describes the diffusion of the virus in normal life with and without precaution. It is a data-driven parametric dependent function, for which the parameters are extracted from the data and the exponential function derived using multiplicative calculus. The results of the proposed model are compared to real recorded data from different countries and the performance of this model is investigated using error analysis theory. We stress that all statistics, collected data, etc., included in this study were extracted from official website of the World Health Organization (WHO). Therefore, the obtained results demonstrate its applicability and efficiency.

Residuals and Least-Squares Property
If the observed data point lies above the line, the residual is positive, and the line underestimates the actual data value for y. If the observed data point lies below the line, the residual is negative, and the line overestimates the actual data value for y.

Prediction Intervals
However, the point estimate is most likely not the exact value of the population parameter, but close to it. After calculating point estimates, we construct interval estimates, called confidence intervals or prediction intervals. This prediction interval comprises a range of values unlike the point estimate and is a better predictor of the observed sample value, y.
