Abstract
the increase of the number of failures of equipments, it is crucial to predict the final number of infected patients or failures at earlier stages. To estimate the number of infected patients, the SIR model, the ordinary differential equation model, statistical truncated model are useful.
The predicted value for the final number of patients using data until time $T$ becomes a function (trend) of $T$. This is called L-plot. We here consider the use of the L-plot to predict the final number of patients,
and we defined the decay function using the L-plot.
Applying the multiple methodologies to the same data, we could expect the better predicted values.
This is called the PoP, the prediction on predictions.
As one of the PoP method, we propose to use the ensemble method.
By applying these methods to the SARS case,
we have found that the ensemble method works well as a PoP method.

Key Words
