Abstract

Detection of possible disease outbreak is a vital role of disease surveillance. Previous studies on dengue in Baguio City, Philippines include exploratory and spatiotemporal analysis, modeling and forecasting methods, but lacks approaches for detection of outbreak. This study aims to obtain a model that may be used to predict outbreaks using variables that have been shown in literature to affect the increase of dengue cases. Machine learning classifiers such as the random forest, decision trees and gradient boosting methods are tested for their performance in classifying outbreak and non-outbreak periods in five barangays of Baguio City in 2019 to 2020. Results have shown that the random forest classifier outperforms the other two classifiers in terms of prediction accuracy, with at least 75% accuracy for predicting outbreak months. The model is further improved with average cases, relative humidity, temperature and lagged values of dengue as input variables to the random forest classifier.
