Integrating Spatial Modelling and Space–Time Pattern Mining Analytics for Vector Disease-Related Health Perspectives: A Case of Dengue Fever in Pakistan

The spatial–temporal assessment of vector diseases is imperative to design effective action plans and establish preventive strategies. Therefore, such assessments have potential public health planning-related implications. In this context, we here propose an <i>integrated spatial disease evalu...

description The spatial–temporal assessment of vector diseases is imperative to design effective action plans and establish preventive strategies. Therefore, such assessments have potential public health planning-related implications. In this context, we here propose an <i>integrated spatial disease evaluation</i> (I-SpaDE) framework. The I-SpaDE integrates various techniques such as the <i>Kernel Density Estimation</i>, the <i>Optimized Hot Spot Analysis</i>, space–time assessment and prediction, and the <i>Geographically Weighted Regression</i> (GWR).
