Health Metrics and the Spread of Infectious Diseases

Machine Learning Applications and Spatial Modelling Analysis with R

Demonstrates how to calculate these metrics to compare the health status of different countries and explores the world of infectious diseases. Tests various machine learning tools for analyzing trends and relationships among key variables, aiming to prevent unexpected outcomes.

Health Metrics and the Spread of Infectious Diseases: Machine Learning Applications and Spatial Modelling Analysis with R is an introductory guide to health metrics and infectious diseases. It demonstrates how to calculate these metrics to compare the health status of different countries and explores the world of infectious diseases. It tests various machine learning tools for analyzing trends and relationships among key variables, aiming to prevent unexpected outcomes. Through detailed explanations and practical examples, readers will gain a comprehensive understanding of Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) and their components.

Key Features:

• Structured into four main sections—foundational health metrics, machine learning applications, data visualization, and real-world case studies
• Integrates real-world case studies with data visualization and machine learning techniques, including spatial modelling with the R programming language
• Covers specific infectious diseases such as COVID-19 and malaria, providing insights into their spread and control
• Includes detailed explanations, practical exercises, and clear illustrations to enhance understanding and application
• Adopts a practical approach, making advanced concepts accessible to a wide audience

The book is primarily aimed at researchers, data scientists, and public health professionals who seek to leverage data to improve health outcomes. By blending theoretical knowledge with practical applications, the book equips readers with the tools to make informed decisions and produce meaningful data analyses in public health.
