Ver documento

Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:In Malaysia, the incidence rate of Dengue Fever and Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever has reached the level of epidemic, and its numbers keep growing. In the last few years, a big effort has been put into developing methods for predicting dengue outbreaks. However, the path for undertaking effectively those predictions, and therefore save Human lives, is still a very long one. This dissertation work focused on the use of Data Mining techniques, for discovering hidden patterns on data obtained by crossing information related to patients infected with dengue in Malaysia and meteorological data coming from the areas where those patients got infected.
