Problem Statement:

Alarmed by the gradual aging of the population and the current hospital bed deficits in certain developed areas, we are determined to excavate the seriousness of this worldly issue using prediction and optimization models. In other words, what caused the problem, how serious is it, and why? What we are trying to do is to seek out how the population aging drags down the stagnating economy, which in turn worsens the hospital bed deficits, and eventually find a feasible resolution to make the current hospital bed arrangement system allocatively efficient.

Mathematical Modeling:

The database that we use is medicare.gov, a trustworthy federal government website run and managed by The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services located in Baltimore, MD. To analyze the data we acquired from the database, we will be utilizing microeconomic/macroeconomic tools and mathematical models to predict and find the best suitable solution to the situation. The challenge of the research will be finding an optimal solution that takes in all factors and parties into account, without hurting any affiliated goods and services, or even the entire economy. In the field of this particular research, the best models at hand are Linear Regression/Optimization model, Logistics model, and the Erlang Loss Formula.
